The visitors are clear for their 10th Premier League bid of the season on Wednesday night but challenging goals could be a wise choice
In the final game of the year at the Liverpool Premier League this year the champions will travel to St James’ Park to face Newcastle United.
Jurgen Klopp’s men may be in pole position to retain their title, but anything but Wednesday night’s win would be a shame – especially after a weekend 1-1 draw against West Brom at Anfield.
The Magpies, for their part, have failed to win any of their last four games in all competitions and have only won three wins in their last 11 home league meetings.

Newcastle United vs Liverpool preview
Klopp ‘s side may be the main winners in the Premier League this season but those numbers are boosted by three big wins against Crystal Palace, Leeds and Wolves, with those games scoring 15 of their 37 goals.
The champions are under threat of a horrific attack, but away from home they have been terribly wasteful in the third final, their 7-0 defeat at Selhurst Park nonetheless.
Indeed, that impressive success in south London is the only time Liverpool have scored more than two goals on the road this term, with Anfield uniforms filling just once in three of the four their games away at last.
While the visitors have more than enough to record a win in the northeast on Wednesday, the statistics show that challenging a high-scoring win could be interesting for them.
