Saturday’s Premier League action draws to a close with Liverpool hosting Newcastle at 20:00.
The Reds head into the tie off the back of a 6-0 win over Qarabag in the Champions League, a victory that sealed their spot in the top eight and confirmed their advancement to the last 16.
Arne Slot’s side are now rated at 10/1 in the Champions League winner betting odds market.
It wasn’t all positive for the Merseysiders, however. An early injury to Jeremie Frimpong against the Azerbaijani champions has worsened Liverpool’s injury crisis ahead of the Magpies’ visit.
They could now be without upwards of six first-team players for Saturday night’s fixture.
It causes a major headache for Slot and his management team, with the sixth-placed Reds already in poor form domestically. They are without a win in five straight Premier League outings.
Last time out, they suffered a 3-2 defeat away at Bournemouth. As a result, Slot climbed to the top of the Premier League sack race odds as the bookmakers’ 6/4 market favourite.
Losing to Newcastle could lead Anfield chiefs to dismiss the Dutchman, with Xabi Alonso waiting in the wings as the outright favourite in the next Liverpool manager betting odds market.
As for the Magpies, their midweek draw against reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain saw them finish just outside of the Champions League’s top eight in 12th place.
They must now prevail in the knockout phase playoffs before joining Liverpool in the last 16.
Eddie Howe’s side head into the weekend having won just one of their last five across all competitions, with their most recent league fixture ending in a 2-0 home defeat by Aston Villa.
That result saw them drop down to ninth place in the table, three points behind the Reds.
