From Blog Fuel, we cover all that should be known before such action-inspiring engagements: a brief preview of team form, key players, tactics, and predictions.

That rival rivalry: The Classic Premier League Clash

The Liverpool-Newcastle rivalry may not compare in stature with Liverpool versus Manchester United or the Merseyside derby, yet it has created some of the most stunning moments of pride in the history of the Premier League.

One memorable instance was the unforgettable 1996 match when Moores somehow lifted Liverpool above Newcastle with a 4-3 victory-regarded one of the greatest in league history. Since then, both sides have acquired quite a dramatic stock of last-minute goals and unforgettable moments.

This season, both are aiming for the very top-Liverpool to claim outright championship honors and Newcastle for a shot at European football.

Liverpool: So Far Season-The Title Chase is On

Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp has proved to be a team of very high caliber in the Bullring. His philosophy has been one of pressing, quick play, and great fighting spirit.

In which ideas are perfectly applied up front by a deadly trio of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Núñez, and Luis Díaz. Midfield regeneration in players like Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai provides just the right mix of creativity and dynamism. 

One of its main strengths is high-intensity pressing that'll have the front and instantly when they win the ball back, choke the life out of the opposing defense. There is always the constant threat of attack, and they are even more boosted psychologically at Anfield. The support from Anfield's crowd is really strong for Liverpool. It is intimidating for any visiting team. 

Mohamed Salah is Liverpool's biggest threat in front of goal. The Egyptian's current hot streak means that his ability to cut inside from the right and create goals will be vital if Liverpool is to do business against Newcastle.

Rehabilitation in Newcastle divides for the magpies' tomorrow.

The appointment of Eddie Howe as manager has really transformed Newcastle United into a club set aside and improved the side in almost all respects with investment plus youth and experienced players that have turned the club into a genuine competitor; not to mention turning up as an intimidator of teams.

The three strikers-Bruce Isak, Miguel Almirón, and Anthony Gordon-have tortured opposition defenses throughout the season, all while guarding the overall defense framework, orchestrating and having the most stunning creative yet solid midfield trio consisting of Bruno and Guimarães.

Well, Newcastle is now a much better defensive side than before. With the increased defensive reliability of Trippier and Botman throughout the back lines, Newcastle now stands among the most balanced teams in the league.

Newcastle can, though, defend in a structure and counter quickly, which will make them dangerous to any opponent. Eddie Howe's hard work is to build a very rigid and disciplined club ready to compete on the highest levels.

In this match, Bruno Guimarães will be the most important player for the Toon. He will be essential in controlling the area as he destroys plays from opponents and then facilitates counter-attacks.

Tactical Battle: What Will Be the Configurations of the Teams?

It will unfold into a strategic chess match: Howe's tendency for juicing up the counterattack contrasts most strikingly with Klopp's high-pressing tactic.

They will dominate, press high up, and create chances with quick passing and wing play. Their consuming full-backs Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson will push high on the pitch providing width. The midfielders will control the tempo, while Salah and Díaz attack the gaps in Newcastle's defense. Motion by Núñez is crucial in breaking down a disciplined backline.

That criticism will be absorbed by Newcastle quite deeply, and they will try to frustrate Liverpool for the time they spend around the edge of Isak and Almirón's tremendous pace that had inflicted so much damage. Set-pieces could also be a vital weapon for them to go fully strong aerials this season.

The midfield tussle will also be very important as it pits Mac Allister against Guimarães, with both looking to get the upper hand on controlling the game. This means the side that gets to control the middle of the park will be at a huge advantage.

Head-to-Head Record: Who Has the Upper Hand?

Liverpool and Newcastle met in about 180 games in the history of their contests. In recent practical times, however, Liverpool proved to be an absolute giant in this fixture, but with the way Newcastle has been matching its opponents, it definitely becomes a strong opponent these days. 

They have a fantastic home record against Newcastle, as Anfield is seemingly like a difficult venue for the Magpies. Then again, Newcastle have shown that they can play with the best and would definitely want to upset the odds.

Liverpool had Anfield in their favor as they would edge out the match. But here Newcastle offers the chance to stay compact and stop the Reds from scoring while seeking their chances on the subtle counter. Their intense attacking prowess complemented well with high-pressing intensity.

It is going to be a very close and physical match; fans are empowering Liverpool with a favor by having their home stadium and deeper squad as compared to Newcastle but will be able to pull completely as determined.

The most likely scoreline this time would be 2-1 for the Liverpool team but the Magpies are not going down without a fight. Counterattack is something they are preparing during the game, and if successful, they might steal a point or even pull off an upset away win!

Where To Watch The Match?

Final Thoughts: The Match You Would Not Want to Miss

A championship assignment would not be seen in isolation as a mere contest for points; this would also be a contest for supremacy, pride, and of course concern for the ambitions of a future.

Greater justification, Liverpool should assume, must strengthen when being considered for the title, and Newcastle would take on big guns.
