Chris Sutton predicts the score between Liverpool and Newcastle United
Chris Sutton believes that Newcastle United are ‘capable’ of giving Liverpool a good game on Wednesday night.
However, it remains to be seen if they will be able to take all three points. It is well documented how poor Newcastle United’s record is away to Liverpool. The last time the Magpies won a league game at Anfield was April 1994.
Almost 31 years later, Eddie Howe’s side go in search of victory against the side they will face in the Carabao Cup final next month.
Virgil van Dijk has warned Newcastle that the atmosphere could be horrible for them to play in, as the Reds continue their charge towards the Premier League title. But for the Magpies, they are under pressure to keep pace in the race for Champions League football.
