Liverpool will make their 2024 debut with an interesting match against a Newcastle side that has proven to be full of surprises every time they face the leading teams in the competition, but in this match against the Reds, the situation does not look promising for the Magpies, and in addition to having to play in such a dominant venue as Anfield, this institution must endure the fact that the Reds are a group that rarely see the fall of its frame.

It is true that Newcastle's offence is on a par with the leading teams in the competition, having scored 37 goals, but even though the attacking unit is spectacular, the Reds have a great defensive unit with only 16 goals allowed, The work of Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez and Jarell Quansah is crucial, although goalkeeper Alisson Becker holds the record for the most clean sheets so far this season.

Records revealed by Anything Liverpool's X-rated account show that Becker has kept a total of six clean sheets to date, adding to the team's overall tally with a further clean sheet from Caoimhin Kelleher during the Brazilian keeper's recovery from injury.

So high has been the South American goalkeeper's efficiency that, in goals allowed per game percentages, the Reds average a total of 0.84 goals, followed by Arsenal with 0.89 and Manchester City in third place with 1.17, with Alisson Becker showing that he too can keep pace with his team-mates and show his best form this season.

Newcastle don't know how to beat Liverpool at home

Although this new version of Newcastle is much more complete and aggressive, they still can't find a way to beat the Anfield side, with the Magpies having so far gone eight years without beating Liverpool, their last win coming in December 2015, and are looking to cut an important run at a venue that has rarely seen their team go down in 2023.
