Liverpool vs Newcastle Predictions: 31.01.2026 - Premier League Betting Tips

Liverpool vs Newcastle

Liverpool will look to bounce back from their Bournemouth defeat last weekend when Newcastle come to town on Saturday evening. Arne Slot's side recorded a 6-0 victory midweek in the Champions League against Qarabag, while Newcastle held PSG in their own back yard.

Read what our Premier League tipster Nathan Joyes has to say and find out his best selection for the match below.

Liverpool strong at Anfield

Although Liverpool lost against Bournemouth on the south coast, that was their first defeat in 14 matches, and they bounced back in style putting six past Qarabag midweek.

At home, Liverpool are seven unbeaten after their shock 4-1 defeat against PSV, recording victories over Brighton, Wolves, Barnsley and Qarabag.

There's still work to be done in order to finish in the top four - but Arne Slot's side are proving extremely difficult to beat.

Their midweek result was expected - but the manner of the victory and varied goalscorers would have been a nice confidence boost after their disappointment against Bournemouth.

Although Liverpool's treatment table is piling up, the vast majority of Slot's preferred XI is available to him - and his side look capable of beating anyone when in the mood.

Newcastle improving on the road

Eddie Howe has struggled to get a tune out of his side on the road this season but head to Anfield unbeaten in three away matches.

That also includes an impressive draw against PSG in the Champions League where Newcastle had plenty of chances to pinch all three points.

Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes came off the bench and both looked extremely dangerous as the game started to open up, and it remains to be seen if either are drafted in from the start after Anthony Elanga failed to impress.

But with just one win in their last five - which came at home - there's work to be done for Newcastle. And with just two away wins to their name from their last 10, something needs to change if Howe is to propel his team up the table and wrestle for a European spot.

Liverpool vs Newcastle H2H

Liverpool have only lost once against Newcastle in their last five meetings - coming in the EFL Cup final at Wembley last year. However, at Anfield, it is very much a different story. Newcastle haven't beaten Liverpool away from home in the Premier League since 1994 - and have lost their last four meetings in a row.

Our Liverpool vs Newcastle betting tip

With Liverpool bouncing back midweek, Arne Slot's side will be a popular pick this weekend. Yet Newcastle's performance in Paris caught the eye, and Eddie Howe will be hoping that inspires his team to pinch some points.

Nathan Joyes has taken a look at the Premier League betting for this match and puts his best selection forward.

All action affair at Anfield

Liverpool (3/4 with Betfred) aim to get back on track in front of their supporters in the Premier League and their midweek result should have given them an extra boost.

As mentioned, that Bournemouth defeat in the dying minutes was their only defeat now in their last 15 games across all competitions - who have largely improved in the early stages of 2026.

Frustrating draws have crept in at Anfield this season, but they have often come against sides willing to put men behind the ball and frustrate the hosts.

Newcastle (16/5 with Betano) on the other hand, may look to use counter attacking movement in order to catch Liverpool out - but Howe won't want his team to sit back and soak up the pressure throughout the match.

Therefore, the visitors are good value to find the back of the net. They were excellent in Paris but it's fair to say PSG were not at their best on the night.

Liverpool have enough attacking quality to come out on top once again vs Newcastle, but this match can also produce plenty of goals.

TIP: Liverpool to win and over 2.5 match goals at 11/5 with BetMGM.
