Stats to wow your friends

  • Newcastle have won both of their last two evening (7pm or later) kick-offs in the Premier League (2-0 v Man Utd, 3-0 v Wolves), as many as they had in their previous 13 prior (D3 L8).

  • Alexander Isak has scored 10 away goals in the Premier League this season – only Andrew Cole (12 in 1993-94) and Alan Shearer (11 in 2001-02) have netted more on the road in a single campaign for Newcastle.

  • Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah is one home goal away from scoring 10+ home goals and 10+ away goals in three different Premier League campaigns (also 2017-18 and 2021-22). Before this season, only Harry Kane had ever done so in 3+ seasons (2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2020-21 and 2022-23).

  • Newcastle have won just one of their last 27 Premier League games against sides starting the day top of the table (D8 L18), beating Chelsea 2-1 in December 2014 under Alan Pardew. They’ve never won away from home against the team top of the Premier League table in 20 attempts (D5 L15).

  • Since losing their first Premier League home game against Newcastle 2-0 in April 1994, Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 28 against the Magpies at Anfield in the competition (W23 D5).
