Liverpool vs Newcastle: Remarkable Statistics Suggest Weekend Clash Should Be Foregone Conclusion

To say Liverpool are favourites to beat Newcastle on Saturday is a bit like saying Kylian Mbappe is favourite to win a foot-race against Sokratis Papastathopoulos.

On paper, it's a bit of a mismatch, and while it would be nice to say a deep dive into the stats gives the Magpies some hope of coming up with the upset to end all upsets...they don't. Simply put, if you're a Newcastle fan, it would be advisable to read no further.

Still with us? Oh well, here we go.

You have to go back to April 1994 for the last time Newcastle conquered the Reds at Anfield in the league, with a 2-0 victory that saw Rob Lee and Andy Cole find the net.
