Did you know?

Liverpool have won 1,999 of their 4,226 top-flight matches (D1,047 L,1180), and would be the first ever side to win 2,000 English top-flight contests with victory here. 

Mohamed Salah has scored in all four of his Premier League home appearances for Liverpool against Newcastle United, netting exactly once each time. Against no side does he have a better 100 per cent scoring record at Anfield in the competition. 

Since winning their first ever Premier League visit to Liverpool in April 1994, Newcastle are winless in their last 25 visits to Anfield (D5 L20). Only against Manchester United have they ever had a longer winless away run in their league history (29 matches between 1973 and 2012). 

Newcastle have won just two of their last 14 midweek Premier League matches (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday), winning 4-1 at AFC Bournemouth in July 2020 and 1-0 against Sheffield United in May last season.
