The Premier League continues, with Newcastle and Liverpool facing each other on Wednesday evening. After 13 matchdays, the hosts are only in the middle of the table. Eddie Howe's team has been waiting for a win in the league since the international break and has fallen far short of expectations this season. The guests are in a completely different situation. After their recent victory in the top match against Manchester City, they are now at the top. They are now eleven points ahead of the reigning champions. With only eight goals conceded and seven clean sheets from the opposition, it will be difficult for the currently weakening home team to bring anything dangerous onto the pitch. Newcastle are still the underdogs in this match. This is partly due to their current home form. They have only won one of their last three home games. The two defeats are unusual, as they are as many as in the previous 20 Premier League home games combined. The Reds, on the other hand, are obviously in a completely different league after seven consecutive competitive wins. Newcastle United have only scored one goal in their last three home games.
