• Liverpool earned 38 points away from home in the Premier League last season

• Both teams have scored in each of Liverpool’s last 12 matches, friendlies included

• Recommended bet: Liverpool to win and both teams to score

Liverpool opened the 2025-26 Premier League season with a thrilling win over Bournemouth and, despite their fragile defence, they will be looking to put on a show for Newcastle’s wantaway striker Alexander Isak on Monday evening.

The Magpies will be without the Sweden international after he was exiled from the squad, and they will be hoping to put the brakes on the Reds’ early season momentum.

Prediction

After romping to the Premier League title last season and spending big in the summer transfer market, Liverpool kicked off their title defence with an enthralling 4-2 win over Bournemouth last weekend, and they should make it two wins from two at St James’ Park on Monday.

The Reds have won seven of their last eight Premier League meetings with Newcastle, and they will hope to take advantage of a Magpies camp low in morale after a disastrous summer.

Eddie Howe has missed out on many of his top targets, and Alexander Isak’s push for a move to Monday’s opponents has resulted in him being exiled from the squad.

A goalless draw against Aston Villa opened their season, although Newcastle were arguably the better side in the Midlands. However, Liverpool represent a tougher test, and one that they are expected to fall short.

The hosts should be able to get on the scoresheet, though. Liverpool looked very open at the back against Bournemouth and have now conceded in 12 successive games, including pre-season friendlies.

They have scored 23 and conceded 11 in their seven games since the end of last season, and they are expected to do both again en route to a victory at St James’ Park.

Back Liverpool to win and both teams to score at 43/20 with LiveScore Bet.
