Liverpool have been excellent at Anfield throughout this season winning seven and drawing one out of a total of eight games. If we look at tomorrow's fixture between the Reds and the Magpies, the Reds have been dominant winning 70, drawing 38 and loosing 42 times out of a total of 150 matches. Despite Liverpool's dominance in the past, the recent records tell different stories. In the last four matches played between the two sides, both have won a match and drawn one too. But these recent records won't really matter much going by the current form of Liverpool.
LIVERPOOL

Liverpool are the only team remaining in the Premier League which is yet to be defeated. The table toppers have looked excellent both at the attack and defense while the midfield has also played a decent role. Liverpool have five straight wins in the last five matches among which three matches were played away from home. They might have struggled against New Castle United in the recent past but that hardly matters given the form and compactness they have shown in the field.
Liverpool might look to rotate players in this fixture but I don't think Salah will be rested as he is among the leading goal scorers and would like to add more. Salah will be the man to watch out for in this match along with Xherdan Shaqiri if he plays. Shaqiri made a huge impact when he scored two goals against Manchester United and I believe he deserves to play a bit more.
Naby Keilta will be out for some time as he suffered an injury in the last fixture. As I said earlier there might be a rotation policy on cards, therefore we can expect a few changes in the starting 11. Joel Matip and Joe Gomez are long term absentees along with Chamberlain.
NEWCASTLE

Newcastle have won just one of their last five matches, lost two and two matches ended in a draw. They are sitting at number 15 on the points table and there is a gap of 31 points between Liverpool and them which means this is really going to be a tough task for them to defeat the Reds. However they will look at their recent record against the Reds for some motivation. However their recent form doesn't suggest that they can beat Liverpool.
Despite having a few bad years, Rondon will be the man to look out for if Newcastle are to make things tough for the Reds. Rondon has four goals in the league and Newcastle will bank on him to score the fifth tomorrow. Matt Ritchie will also be player to watch out for as he has played well throughout the season and he has made a few assists as well.
Newcastle have a few injury concerns as they will be missing Lejuene, Shelves, Clark as well as their goalkeeper Darlow due to injuries. They will also be without Kids Sung-Yueng as he will be playing in the Asia Cup which means Issac Hayden could take his place.
PREDICTION
Liverpool look clear favourites in this fixture and I don't think Newcastle will pose any threat to the undefeated Reds. I am predicting a score of either 2-0 or 3-0 in favour of Liverpool.
