Liverpool will look to continue their march towards Premier League glory when they face Newcastle United at Anfield on Wednesday night.
The Reds took a massive step towards a title triumph by making light work of Man City in a 2-0 win at the Etihad on Sunday, in a game that brought up each of my two recommended bets.
That victory has sent Arne Slot’s side soaring 11 points clear at the summit of the standings with just 11 games left to play.
Back at their Merseyside home this midweek, Liverpool well look to bank another three points when Newcastle come to town.
Eddie Howe’s team returned to winning ways at the weekend with a frantic 4-3 win over Nottingham Forest at St James’ Park.
Victory has lifted the Magpies up to fifth position in the top flight table, and just three points behind third placed Forest.
How the bookies view it: Reds juggernaut to roll on
Liverpool – who have won nine of their 12 Premier League home games this season – are understandable short-priced 4/9 favourites on Parimatch. New signups though can claim a 30/1 welcome offer betting on the Reds, which may be more tempting if you don't yet have a Parimatch account. As usual, check out the full terms and conditions below.

Newcastle are as big as 9/2 to emerge from Anfield victorious, while an all square affair is also considered unlikely at 7/2 with the same bookmaker.
Head to head: Reds rule the roost
Liverpool have avoided defeat in each of their last 16 Premier League meetings with Newcastle, triumphing in six of the last seven showdowns at Anfield.
However, Newcastle could draw confidence from the fact that they held the Reds to a 3-3 draw in this season’s reverse fixture.
Players to watch: Salah to strike again?
After netting his 25th Premier League goal of the season against Man City on Sunday, Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah stands out for an anytime strike on Wednesday night at 10/11 on Boylesports.
Newcastle will look to Alexander Isak for inspiration at Anfield this midweek. The Swedish sharpshooter – who bagged a brace against Nottingham Forest last time out – has been priced up at 7/4 on Boylesports to grab a goal in this game.
Predicted line-ups
As was the case at the Etihad on Sunday, Liverpool again look set to be without injured trio Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton.
Newcastle boss Howe will be unable to call upon Jamaal Lascelles, Joelinton and Sven Botman for the midweek trip to Merseyside.
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold; Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Jones; Diaz
Newcastle: Pope; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall; Willock, Guimaraes, Miley; Murphy, Isak, Gordon
Anything else catch the eye?
With an entertaining encounter expected at Anfield on Wednesday night, I’m more than happy to propose a play on both teams to score and over 2.5 goals at 4/5 on Boylesports.
This combination has clicked in each of Liverpool’s last five Premier League home games, with each of those previous five visiting teams all currently housed below Newcastle in the top flight standings.
What’s more, this bet would have also proven profitable in four of Newcastle’s previous five Premier League assignments.
