Newcastle – Liverpool, Picks and Tips
With four wins in their last four games, Newcastle, who for a good period of time have been the "red lantern" of this Premier League season, have climbed to 9th place in the standings. They can't lay claim to the European places, but they look like a team that can trouble the greats like Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and, why not, Tottenham. Three of their four wins have been goalless. The last of them away to Norwich, a team as good as relegated to the Championship. Joelinton scored a first-half double and Guimaraes set up the final score in the 49th minute of the game. The last match played at St. Jame's Park was a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. Almiron's 32nd minute strike was enough. We also review the successes against Leicester, 2-1, Guimaraes' "dbula", and against Wolverhampton, Wood's gool from the spot. Brazilian Guimaraes was brought in last transfer window from Lyon in France. In his last three matches he has three goals and one assist. That's four wins in a row after, we remind you, Newcastle were winless after their first 15 Premier League games. A lot has changed at St. Jame's Park since then.
In the league, Liverpool have not lost since their 1-0 away defeat to Leicester on 28 December 2021. There hasn't been a match since then in which the Cormorants haven't scored at least once. And, meanwhile, Liverpool have also qualified for the FA Cup final after knocking out title rivals Manchester City. The match with the trophy on the table is to be played on 14 May against Chelsea at Wembley. In other words, Liverpool can put a historic season on their record books and win four trophies at the end of it - the EFL Cup, already won after a final also against Chelsea, the FA Cup, the Premier League and the Champions League. Especially since in the round with Villarreal, the boys coached by Jurgen Klopp won 2-0. The goals came in the second half, amidst an outright domination by Liverpool. A Henderson cross deflected in the first goal, Estupinan "credited" with the strike, and three minutes later Salah found Mane on the edge of offside, from where the Senegalese tipped the ball past goalkeeper Rulli. Liverpool are one step closer to the Champions League final, which means they are one step closer to one of their goals.
