The Anfield Factor: Newcastle's record at Anfield is notoriously poor. Their last league win there was in April 1994 – a run of 29 visits without a victory (D5, L24).
The Eddie Howe Exception: Newcastle's sole recent victory was a dramatic 2-1 win at St. James' Park in the 2022/23 season, fueled by a controversial early red card to Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk.
Key Match Facts and Stats
Goal-Fest Guarantee: This fixture averages 3.23 goals per game in the Premier League era. It's the highest goals-per-game average of any fixture in Premier League history to have been played at least 50 times.
Mohamed Salah: The Magpie Killer: Liverpool's forward Mohamed Salah has been a constant thorn in Newcastle's side. He has scored 11 goals in 8 home games against them at Anfield and has 15 goal contributions (11G, 4A) in 13 Premier League appearances against Newcastle overall.
Comeback Kings (Liverpool): Liverpool have won 20 Premier League games against Newcastle from a losing position – more than any team has against another in the competition's history. A 1-0 lead for Newcastle is never safe.
High-Scoring Games: The famous 4-3 victories for Liverpool in the 1990s (1996 & 1997) are iconic, but the drama continues. Recent scores include a 4-2 Liverpool win (2022/23) and a 4-2 Newcastle win (2023/24, though this was in the EFL Trophy with weakened teams).
Dominant Reds: Liverpool have scored 4 or more goals against Newcastle in a Premier League match on 7 separate occasions.
Tactical & Form Context (2024/25 Season)
Liverpool:
New Manager: Arne Slot has taken over from Jürgen Klopp, bringing a new tactical philosophy (a possession-based 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 hybrid). Early season matches will be key to understanding their new identity.
Home Fortress: Anfield remains one of the most difficult grounds for any visiting team.
Newcastle United:
Manager: Eddie Howe has solidified Newcastle as a top-half force with a high-pressing, aggressive style.
Away Struggles: Their form away from home, especially against the "Big Six," has been a significant hurdle. Overcoming their Anfield curse is the ultimate challenge.
Key Threat: Alexander Isak provides a pace and clinical finishing threat that can trouble any defense.
Summary
The historical and statistical advantage is overwhelmingly with Liverpool, especially at Anfield. The fixture is almost guaranteed to have goals, drama, and often a Liverpool comeback.
For Newcastle, the challenge is immense: break a 30-year winless streak at Anfield and overcome a team that has historically had their number. Their victory at St. James' Park last season proves they can win, but doing it at Anfield is a different task entirely.
