With Arsenal stumbling the day before, Liverpool stepped onto the Etihad pitch knowing that a win over Manchester City would bring them closer to a second Premier League title. And they didn’t disappoint! A fierce first half saw them score twice before the break, sealing a solid 2-0 win over the defending champs and opening up an 11-point gap over Arsenal—though they’ve played one more game.
Now, the Reds are back at Anfield after a tough stretch of four away games in their last five. History says a happy homecoming is likely. Liverpool has won an amazing 22 of their last 24 home games on a Wednesday, and under Slot, Anfield has turned into an attacking fortress. The Reds have scored at least twice in each of their last 17 home games across all competitions, and they’ve done the same in all but two of their last 18 home matches against Newcastle.
The Magpies, on the other hand, come to Merseyside buzzing after a thrilling 4-3 comeback win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Eddie Howe’s squad is still in the hunt for a top-four finish, sitting level on points with fourth-placed Aston Villa, but they’ve been a bit inconsistent. Three losses in their last five league games have slowed their momentum, and another setback could be looming.
Newcastle’s Wednesday night record isn’t great, with 13 losses in their last 17 away league games on this day. Their struggles against the top teams are even more worrying—they haven’t won in their last 20 away games against a side at the top of the Premier League (with 5 draws and 15 losses). To top it off, the Magpies’ last league win at Anfield was way back in April 1994. Since then, they’ve faced 23 losses in 28 visits.
With history, form, and momentum all on Liverpool’s side, the Anfield crowd will be expecting nothing less than another step toward Premier League glory.
