Newcastle United vs Liverpool Picks

So much has changed at Newcastle United. A new manager and a lot of big losses. It seems wrong to assume they are the same team or can even compete at the top level anymore.

A new era for Liverpool, but a lot of the same players that won the title two years ago. They may take their time, but all signs point to the Reds coming good, even if they don’t finish where they believe they belong.

Liverpool win this game, not because they are good, but because Newcastle will be worse than them.

Other markets include Alexander Isak to score, Rio Ngumoha to have two or more successful dribbles and Will Osula to have two or more shots on target.
