Liverpool VS Newcastle live preview Primeira Liga

Liverpool：
Liverpool faced challenges in converting opportunities in their recent games, drawing with Arsenal and struggling against Burnley. Despite disallowed goals and controversies, Liverpool secured a late win at Turf Moor, reclaiming the top spot after Arsenal's loss. The Reds aim to maintain their New Year's Day tradition of undefeated performances at Anfield since 2005, as they await Arsenal's result against Fulham.

Newcastle
Meanwhile, Newcastle hopes for a fresh start in the New Year after a series of setbacks, including a stunning loss to Nottingham Forest with Chris Wood's hat-trick. Eddie Howe's team, currently in ninth place, faces a tough schedule, including fixtures against Aston Villa and Manchester City. Before dreaming of FA Cup success against Sunderland, ending a four-game losing streak on the road is a priority for Newcastle at Anfield, where they have faced challenges in recent encounters. 

Analysis:

Liverpool faces Newcastle on New Year's Day with several key players unavailable due to injuries. Kostas Tsimikas, Ben Doak, Joel Matip, Stefan Bajcetic, Thiago Alcantara, and Andrew Robertson are all ruled out. Alexis Mac Allister is undergoing assessment for a knee injury but is unlikely to start. Wataru Endo is expected to continue in the number six role, while Dominik Szoboszlai, Ibrahima Konate, and Luis Diaz may return to the starting lineup. For Newcastle, eight injured players remain sidelined, including Nick Pope, Jacob Murphy, and Harvey Barnes, while Joelinton could feature on the bench. Manager Eddie Howe might consider changes, including bringing in Tino Livramento for Dan Burn.
