Jurgen Klopp’s side are top of the Premier League and our tipster is backing them to ease to another victory at Anfield on Saturday lunchtime
Liverpool are aiming to win their 14th consecutive Premier League match when they welcome Newcastle United to Anfield on Saturday lunchtime.
The Reds have not dropped points in the competition since a 0-0 draw at rivals Everton in March and are seeking to maintain their 100 per cent record this season by making it five wins from as many games.

Liverpool vs Newcastle preview
Given the contrasting fortunes of these sides, there is little to suggest that Liverpool will not come away with yet another convincing victory on Saturday.
Liverpool have scored 98 Premier League goals against Newcastle and two more will make them the first team to score 100+ against a single opponent who hasn’t been ever-present in the competition.
The Reds have already scored 12 goals in their four matches this season and 30 across their last nine home league matches, and should have few problems putting the Magpies to the sword.
Liverpool vs Newcastle tips and predictions
888Sport offer 21/20 (2.05) that Liverpool beat the -2 handicap mark on Saturday afternoon, as they did last season when they eased home 4-0.
Klopp’s men are in impressive form and will be determined to keep that run going against a Magpies side that conceded 28 times to top-six sides last season, with 18 of those coming outside of the north-east.
