Liverpool sent shockwaves around the Premier League when they ran riot at home against promoted side Bournemouth, thrashing them 9-0, a joint record for the biggest margin of victory in the Premier League era. A blistering start to the game saw them take a commanding 5-0 lead at the break, inspired by terrific playmaking from forgotten man Roberto Firminho who bagged a hat-trick of assists in that opening half. He got on the scoresheet in the second, a just reward for his virtuoso performance, and deservedly won the man of the match award.

Newcastle have had their twists and turns this season. They have nevertheless proved incredibly tough to beat as they remain undefeated coming into this round (1W, 3D). The Magpies looked to be heading to their first loss of the season at the weekend, trailing Wolves 1-0 after 90 minutes but exciting winger Saint-Maximin’s stunning equalizer in stoppage time ensured a share of the spoils.

The Reds will certainly be beaming with confidence coming into this match. They will nevertheless face a much sterner test here. We anticipate a closely fought opening half that should pave way to a more open second half. As such we are backing the 2nd half of this game to produce more goals
