Liverpool v Newcastle Goalscorer Tips

The second leading goalscorer in the Premier League is bang on form and a best price of 11/4 (WilliamHill) to score at anytime during the Liverpool-Newcastle match on Friday.

The thing that has impressed me most about Demba Ba is that he kept finding the net consistently even while his team as a whole were struggling. The prolific 26-year-old managed to grab five goals in the run of six matches that Newcastle went without victory. He extended his own personal run to six in seven by netting the second when the Magpies returned to winning ways at Bolton on Boxing Day.

With 14 league goals for the season, Ba may have been the signing of the summer. He has simply kept going where he left off at West Ham after signing on a free when the Hammers were relegated. He had scored seven in 12 appearances even in that struggling outfit. Since opening his account in the north-east in September, he is better than a goal a game for his new club.

After failing to shut out Sunderland, Bolton, Wolves, Norwich or Blackburn at Anfield, Liverpool have good reason to fear Demba Ba. The African has already scored at Old Trafford and at 11/4 (WilliamHill) he is a bargain to add to Dalglish’s current woes.
