Newcastle Vs Liverpool: 10 Big Predictions From Around The Net

5. John Ley (The Telegraph) - 1-1

For John Ley, Liverpool are still on a damage limitation exercise with Daniel Sturridge still out injured, and Mario Balotelli not firing on all cylinders. He also notes in his preview that Newcastle would have been dreading this game a few weeks back, but after the three straight wins in the past two weeks, everything has changed and there is "new expectancy and hope to St James' Park." Hopefully, that isn't just another way of saying we're all unreasonably optimistic about beating unbeatable sides, as Newcastle fans keep being criticised of recently. At least his 1-1 prediction suggests he thinks Newcastle fans might have something to cheer at the end of the game.
