Liverpool’s Rio Ngumoha warms up prior to the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 League Phase MD8 match between Liverpool FC and Qarabag FK at Anfield on January 28, 2026 in Liverpool, England. Liverpool are unbeaten in 18 against Newcastle in the Premier League, and have settled for a draw just five times in that span. Should Liverpool win, however, the Reds will complete the league double over Newcastle for the 12th total time, which would become the most league doubles over a single opponent for the Reds. Liverpool are winless in five, however, and ended a period of uninspiring draws with a late loss last weekend. Given Newcastle’s struggles and Liverpool’s own issues in front of goal in the league, this could be a low-scoring affair.
