Newcastle United vs. Liverpool FC 7/26/20 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

Last Updated: 07/23/2020 at 8:44 AM ET

In the English Premier League, Newcastle United will host Liverpool at St James Park. 

Newcastle United enter this match following a 0-0 draw in their previous match away from home against Brighton. It was a poor match with neither team managing to secure enough scoring chances. There were only 4 shots on target in the entire match with Newcastle United looking unlikely to score. It has been a solid season for Newcastle United with the team currently being placed in 13th position on the Premier League ladder with 44 points from their 37 games. Newcastle United have nothing left to achieve this season and that is going to make it tough for the team to get enough determination to challenge an elite team like Liverpool. 

On the other side of the coin, Liverpool enter this match hoping to end their season with a win. Liverpool are the Champions for this season and the team will hope to finish the season with another 3 points. It has been an outstanding season for the Reds as they have been dominant and have comfortably defeated their challengers, Manchester City. In their previous outing, Liverpool defeated Chelsea 5-3 at home. It was a very impressive attacking display by Liverpool as they constantly challenged the Chelsea defense and easily controlled the entire match. Liverpool look in outstanding touch and the team will be hoping to end their season with a win.  

Liverpool hosted Newcastle United earlier in the season at Anfield. It was a comfortable win for the Reds as the match finished 3-1. Sadio Mane scored twice for Liverpool while Mo Salah scored once.

Taking everything into consideration, I am going to pick Liverpool to win this match. Newcastle have nothing to achieve from this match and the motivation levels look low. Liverpool are the stronger team and I see them being too good for the Magpies.
