According to Liverpool vs Newcastle United H2H Stats, the last six matches between these two clubs have resulted in two wins, two losses and two draws for either clubs.

Newcastle United have won only one of their last six league games and Rafa Benitez’s return to Anfield provides an interesting subplot.

A 2-0 win for Liverpool is the most likely result.
