Liverpool Recent Form — Last 5
Newcastle Recent Form — Last 5
Key Factors
Full-Back Crisis: Liverpool enter this match without a recognized senior Right-Back (Frimpong, Bradley, and Gomez all injured), forcing a tactical improvisation likely involving Szoboszlai or Gravenberch in a hybrid role.
Offensive Regression: While Liverpool scored 6 against Qarabağ, they are winless in 5 Premier League games. However, their seasonal xG of 1.58/90 suggests their league-low efficiency in January is an anomaly due for a positive correction.
Defensive Depletion (Newcastle): The absence of Fabian Schär (surgical recovery) and Tino Livramento removes Newcastle's primary ball-playing defender and most athletic recovery runner, leaving them vulnerable to Salah’s inside runs.
Injuries & Absentees
Liverpool face a critical defensive void; Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley are out, meaning the right-flank will likely be manned by a midfielder out of position. This provides a direct path for Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon to exploit. For Newcastle, the loss of Schär (ankle) and Joelinton (groin) guts their central stability. While Bruno Guimarães is expected to return, he may lack the match fitness to maintain Newcastle's usual high-intensity PPDA (Passes Per Defensive Action) for 90 minutes.
