Result

Corners

Liverpool most corners ° 6.8 per game, over 6 team corners

Cards

Tonali most bookable ° Newcastle press engine in a huge home fixture

The Sunday 4:30pm showpiece at St James' Park. Both teams underwent major changes ° Newcastle sold Isak (now at Liverpool ironically) and Guimarães (to Arsenal); Liverpool saw Salah leave for Trabzonspor and Trent go to Real Madrid. Jota (14 PL goals) leads Liverpool's attack. Liverpool's corners record (6.8 per game) and Jota goals are the headline angles. Gordon's shot volume and Tonali's card profile are key player picks. Newcastle have exceptional home support and their 5.8 corners per game also supports a busy set-piece game.

CornersMedium risk

Liverpool most corners

Liverpool averaged 6.8 corners per game in PL 2025/26 ° highest alongside Man City. Even with Trent departed to Real Madrid, their wide attacking style through Robertson and the front three maintains high corner volumes.

Goal scorerMedium risk

Diogo Jota to score

Jota scored 14 PL goals last season and is Liverpool's most consistent finisher. Away at St James' Park ° a notoriously difficult atmosphere ° his movement and finishing make him the top goal scorer pick.

Yellow cardMedium risk

Sandro Tonali to be booked

Tonali is Newcastle's combative midfield engine. In a home fixture of this magnitude at St James' Park ° against Liverpool ° his press-disrupting style carries consistent booking potential.

BTTSMedium risk

Both teams to score

Newcastle scored 68 and Liverpool scored 82 in PL 2025/26. Both teams carry genuine attacking quality. With both sides being high-scoring, BTTS is strongly supported.

Shots on targetMedium risk

Anthony Gordon 2+ shots on target

Gordon scored 9 PL goals in 32 appearances last season and is Newcastle's main wide threat after Isak's departure. His direct running and shooting from wide creates consistent SoT opportunities at St James'.
