Newcastle's Challenges Ahead
With a spot in the Champions League for the first time in two decades, Newcastle sets sights high. Aiming to shine in the EPL, they are eager to match or even surpass their fourth-place finish from the previous season. However, doubts linger over Eddie Howe's team due to the absence of star signings.
Despite this, Newcastle made solid additions during the summer transfer window. Sandro Tonali, Harvey Barnes, and Valentino Livramento bolstered the team's ranks. On the other hand, Allan Saint-Maximin, Chris Wood, and several others left the club, while some players were released on free agency.
Newcastle started strong this season, triumphing over Aston Villa 5-1 in their opener and narrowly losing to Manchester City 1-0 in their second match.
Liverpool's Midfield Woes
Liverpool saw the departure of several crucial midfielders during the summer, including Fabinho, who played 36 of the team's 38 Premier League games last season. Captain Jordan Henderson and vice-captain James Milner also left, along with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita, and Fabio Carvalho.
To fill the void, Liverpool brought Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister aboard, but Klopp has been forced to repurpose Cody Gakpo for the midfield due to Mac Allister's red card in the previous game and his subsequent suspension for Sunday's match. Expect to see the young talent, Harvey Elliott, stepping into the breach.
Predictions for Newcastle vs. Liverpool
In the 2023-24 season, Liverpool flounders in the midfield, exhibiting weak performances. Meanwhile, Newcastle shines in every department, with their midfield being their strongest asset. Despite Liverpool's past successes, our prediction leans heavily towards a Newcastle victory. However, history throws a curveball—Liverpool has defeated Newcastle just twice in the last ten years, with the last win coming all the way back in 2015. With recent improvements, Newcastle appears well-equipped to secure a favorable outcome on Sunday.
