Liverpool hosts Newcastle United on Wednesday in a 2022-23 English Premier League match as they seek to work their way back to the top of the table. The Reds (1-2-1) got their first victory of the season Saturday, but it was a big one, so they hope it propels them to a dominant run. They sit 12th in the Premier League table after all expectations were another fierce battle at the top with league champion Manchester City. They finished one point behind City last season and added more talent in the offseason, but now they are off to a low start. However, they crushed Bournemouth 9-0 on Saturday – tied for the biggest victory in Premier League history – so they plan to ride the momentum. Newcastle (1-3-1) comes in unbeaten and has been spending money to add talent. Liverpool won both matchups last season, including a 3-1 victory at Anfield.
Kickoff is set for 3 p.m ET in Liverpool, England. Caesars Sportsbook lists Liverpool as the -330 favorite (risk $330 to win $100) on the 90-minute money line in its latest Liverpool vs. Newcastle odds.

Why you should back Liverpool
The Reds have not lost to the Magpies since 2015, going 7-4-0 in that span, and have gone 26 matches without a loss to Newcastle at home (21-5-0). They also have dominated almost everyone at Anfield, going 16-5-0 there in league play since the start of last season. They were the only team to go unbeaten on their home turf in 2021-22 and outscored their opponents 49-9. Luis Diaz, who came over during the winter transfer window, scored two goals Saturday to give him three this season. Roberto Firmino also had a brace and has been a key in the attack.
Firmino leads the EPL in goal-creating actions per 90 minutes at 2.16. Trent-Alexander Arnold also is a major weapon, leading the league in passes (22) and crosses (nine) into the penalty area and tied for second in shot-creating actions (22). Mohamed Salah has two goals after sharing the league lead with 23 last season. Liverpool's talented attack could have a field day against a Newcastle defense that has allowed 20 shots on target, third-most in the EPL.
Why you should back Newcastle
The Magpies come in with some injury concerns, which is not ideal. Allan Saint-Maximin, who has six goals and seven assists since the start of last season, is likely out with a hamstring injury. But the team has invested in talent and depth, and leading 2021-22 scorer Callum Wilson is healthy. He has two goals this season after posting eight in the previous campaign. The team also hopes to have new signing Alexander Isak registered in time to play. The Swedish striker scored 32 goals over the past three seasons with Real Sociedad in La Liga.
Defender Sven Botman was brought in to join Fabian Schar in the middle of the back line, and Nick Pope was added to provide stability in net. The Magpies should start directing more shots away from the target, but Pope has been up to the task so far. He has saved 80 percent of the shots he has faced (15 of 20) after posting a 74.9 percent mark in five seasons with Burnley.
