Michael Owen – Newcastle 1-2 Liverpool
“Make no mistake, this is far from an ordinary match for Liverpool. Newcastle won four consecutive victories in all competitions, allowing only one during that time. “They reached the victory in Norwich last week, this country is full of confidence,” Owen told BetVictor.

“Liverpool could probably have scored more goals against Villarreal, but it was still a comfortable 2-0 victory. The last two victories were against countries that were deeply defending themselves and trying to thwart them, and Villarreal is a good sign that they have found a way to win.
“Liverpool have so much momentum right now. This will not be easy, Newcastle themselves are in great shape. I will play for 2-1 Liverpool. “
Mark Lawrenceon – Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool
Speaking as part of his predictions at BBC Sport, Mark Lawrence said: “Villarreal did not really cause much trouble for Liverpool in their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday, but I expect Newcastle to be a much bigger threat in the future.
“They won’t be gang-ho or anything like that, but the way they started in the last few weeks means they’re getting into this game without any pressure.
“All of Magpies’ signatures in January went well, especially Bruno Guimaraes, who looks real and is doing well.
“Eddie Howe made several changes to refresh his team for their victory over Norwich last weekend, including playing for Joelinton in the middle and everyone seemed to be working.
Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe.
“After winning four games in a row, Newcastle will be full of confidence, but if that means they are even a little more open than usual this weekend, it will suit Jurgen Klopp’s team.
“I’m sure Howe’s plan will still be to make sure they’re tough to win, but I don’t think the home fans will be content to see them put 11 people behind the ball in 90 minutes and just play for a point.
“The problem is that Liverpool are at a different level than any of the teams Newcastle have just beaten – the Canaries, Crystal Palace, Leicester and the Wolves.
“Besides, the way the Reds play makes me think they’re going to get the result they need, no matter who’s on their team. They are right in this area. “
Jones knows – Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool
Speaking in his predictions to Sky Sports, Jones Knows said: “Many Liverpool fans believe that this may be just a game in which the boys of Jurgen Klopp firmly convey the initiative for the Manchester City title.
“And it’s easy to see why. Since the beginning of the year, only Liverpool have taken more points from the Premier League than the reviving Thun.
“Only these statistics will arouse great interest in choosing Newcastle’s double chance (to win or draw) at 2/1 with Sky Bet.
“It simply came to our notice then. I’m in the Liverpool camp. This is a relentless team that has won 12 of its last 13 Premier League games.
“With such two solid defenses in this match and Klopp’s men in” work mode “, there is a lot of strength in supporting Liverpool to win a low-scoring match.”
