Liverpool will need to put their recent disappointing results against Everton and Portsmouth behind them for the visit of Newcastle on Sunday (live on Sky Prem Plus). Benitez's side were unlucky not to bag all three points against Pompey, after dominating the second half, and
given Newcastle's dismal failure to see off a post 'Arry Pompey on Saturday, they look the best bet for the game at 5/6. Further encouragement can be gained from the fact that Liverpool have lost just once in eight games this season to sides in the bottom half of the table. Newcastle are conceding two goals per game away from home, so a 2-0 or 3-1 scoreline at 13/2 and 12/1 respectively looks about right.
If you're thinking of betting in-play (we will have up to 12 markets), then don't give up on Liverpool if they are behind at half-time - just ask Olympiakos! No other Premiership outfit has done better at overturning a half-time deficit, having won seven points from six games where they were down at the break.
With that in mind it could be worth sticking a few quid on a Newcastle/Liverpool double result at 25/1 prior to kick off.
