Liverpool v Newcastle Tips
This would have been a winning tip in Liverpool's last seven matches.
When Newcastle won 2-0 at Bolton on Boxing Day it looked like a return to the early season meanness that saw the Magpies hold the best defensive record in the league till November. Liverpool’s defence is now the toughest to breach - tied with Man Utd - having conceded just 14 in 18 matches.
As is well documented, problems for the Reds are all down the other end. With Luis Suarez missing for this clash, goals could again be at a premium. Most bookies are smart to the trends on this, but StanJames look generous to offer evens on under three goals in this match.
Spectators of Liverpool games have seen fewer than three goals in all of their last seven outings in all competitions. Quite simply, same again and we’re in the money.
