But Arteta prefers to make David Raya the starter because his ability in build-up is more prominent than Ramsdale.
We know that Arsenal is a collective team that relies on attacks through build-up at the back.
Like it or not, Ramsdale has to adjust himself to train harder and be able to compete for the main goalkeeper position.

Onana has performed quite well in the last few matches, even though in the end they lost to Nottingham Forest

This victory is important for Liverpool, not only putting pressure on Arsenal but also Aston Villa and Man City. Moreover, if Liverpool wins in this league, the difference will not be three points but five points from Arsenal.

Now what Liverpool needs to worry about is not Arsenal but Man City, because Man City has only played 19 matches while Arsenal has played 20 matches, meaning that if Man City wins the next match, they will be two points behind Liverpool. If Liverpool loses the match against Newcastle, then Man City will overtake Liverpool at the top of the standings because Man City still has one game remaining.

Liverpool vs Newcastle united
Lineups

Liverpool — Becker; Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, van Dijk(C), Gomez; Szoboszlai, Endo, Jones; Mohamed Salah, Núñez, Díaz.

Newcastle — Dúbravka; Livramento, Schär, Botman, Burn(C); Miley, Bruno Guimarães, Longstaff; Joelinton, Isak, Gordon.

This is an opportunity for Liverpool to take a comfortable lead on the top of the table with three points ahead the second place Aston villa, currently Liverpool are better in performance than Newcastle united because Newcastle united only won one match in last five matches while Liverpool won two matches. The game has started and let see how it's goes.

I kind of wonder why most of us are disregarding Aston Villa this very season and at this point in the league seeing how incredible their performance has been so far this season, and they have been consistent in their games, I think is time we begin to consider their position in the league, let's face the reality with what is happening in the league, Arsenal has slipped down to the 4th position in the table and Aston Villa is the closest club right now after Liverpool, and it's also possible we might see them top the table having them close point with Liverpool and if Liverpool won their game tonight it will only fall back to being 3 points gaps.

It is better for Liverpool to concentrate on winning today's game because Newcastle plays well enough that you can't expect them to lose. If Liverpool wins today's game, they will be five points ahead of Arsenal, i think there will be tough competition for the Premier League title this season. This is because if Liverpool wins today's game and has five points ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal, they won't lose any of their games and will instead try to win or draw to stay at the top of the league. I also predict on Liverpool to win which i expect them to win, the premier league matches will be very interesting, i believe Liverpool will not lose this opportunity to win today game.

Liverpool are very strong at Anfield. And the Liverpool team is still unbeaten in home matches this season. However, Liverpool have shared points in their last two home matches. They certainly won't want this result in today's match. Despite the strong opposition in today's match, Liverpool will be looking to secure 3 points and consolidate their position at the top of the table. This match is very important for Liverpool. Because losing points in this match will increase the chances of losing the top spot in the table. Liverpool is only 2 points ahead of Manchester City. If we don't win this match, maybe next week we will see Manchester City team at the top of the table. Therefore, Liverpool will not think about anything other than winning this match.

Not going to be an easy game at all for Liverpool and I think there were several games now that have shown that there are no easy games ever in the Premier League. Even when a top team plays against one that is seemingly inferior because of their rank in the table, some unexpected results came about and Newcastle is still a team that was qualified for the Champions League for some good reasons. Nevertheless, I think today is not the time for them to beat Liverpool at Anfield Road.

I don't think it would be an easy match for Liverpool today. Newcastle is currently is not in the best shape but I think that they have what it takes to beat Liverpool, they are having some crisis but still have the players to upset Liverpool.
I earlier thought that Liverpool would win but checking out line ups right now I think the game would be a draw at the end of the day.

Since they will be playing at home, their chances of winning should not be underestimated. Newcastle are a difficult team and they played well in the UCL. Their squad is also of high quality and they had surprising matches in the league. Liverpool must respect their quality and direct the game accordingly. If they score the goal, they can defeat Newcastle more easily.

We cannot be completely sure that this can be a reality because after all, if you look at the situation that is happening now, everything is still possible for this match even though Liverpool probability is very large but by saying we can be sure for 3 points I think it will be like underestimating Newcastle and actually backfire for themselves.
Currently Newcastle problems is still the same where they still cannot maximise opportunities and have not been able to get out of the slump after losing the Champions League and the losing streak they had.

But on the other hand, they also still have a good performance in the match even though sometimes there are some misses thats make them concede the ball but in terms of defence if they focus on defending then this could be a heavy burden for Liverpool because they must have difficulty passing that.
With Liverpool's goal productivity always deadlocked if Salah cannot be free then this could also be a problem for Liverpool because even though other players are dangerous, as long as Salah is not given space then at least Newcastle have a greater chance of getting points.

To me this is more about the difference between the clubs and not really about the fact that Liverpool hasn't lost there. I mean if they were facing Man City right now, I wouldn't guarantee anything, I wouldn't be saying that Liverpool will win or lose or anything like that. However, the quality difference between Liverpool and Newcastle is high, which is why I would say that it is not going to be all that easy, we are talking about teams that have huge difference between each other. Newcastle has spent a lot of money on that club, and they did manage to finish fourth last year, which was awesome, they haven't been at UCL for a long time and they did their best.

However, this year they are doing quite badly in comparison and that makes sense, that's not really that much of a terrible idea. I believe that it is still a good idea and we should consider that as an option. I believe that the best we could do right now would be making sure that we bet carefully but Liverpool is likely outcome.

Believe that Liverpool will win this is the favorite of this momentum will not be left without points, Manchester City has 1 match left and if they win then it is increasingly with Liverpool, I think Liverpool must be able to maintain the distance of points.

And that's Newcastle don't want to lose for the 3rd time they will definitely try with what they can afford including buying a lot of time because even a draw for Newcastle is good enough.

Only my feeling that Liverpool can win maybe this 3-1 score is my prediction.

The Big Match between Liverpool versus Newcastle will be interesting to wait for, because the ambition of both teams is 3 points, the description of the scenario that has been described makes me confident that this match will not end in a draw. Klopp understands that the current momentum will not be repeated twice, beating Newcastle is an absolute requirement to strengthen its position as a serious contender for the EPL trophy. On paper, Liverpool deserves to be at the top, high self-confidence, the positive trend recorded, and better squad depth, are reasons to put Klopp fleet at a high chance of securing full points. One other thing, the match will take place at Anfield, where Salah and his colleagues will get full support from the fans, in return they want to mark the start of the year by celebrating the victory together.

Newcastle cannot be underestimated, Eddie Howe also wants an additional 3 points in this match. In terms of attributes, Howe fleet has bargaining value to trouble and prevent Liverpool from sitting comfortably at the top of the standings. Even though in the last 5 matches in the EPL Newcastle were only able to collect 3 points, Klopp should be fully alert by fielding his best squad. The course of the match will certainly be very intense and open, and there is also the possibility of surprises.

I agree because things are not good and positive for the Newcastle United with their results and performance is on decline currently they are the worst English club with their performance above just Brentford which is having no win from their last 5 games and Newcastle United is having only 1 win with their defense is completely like crap which concede 11 goals and their attack is also having troubling time as they score only 5 goals which are not enough for keeping things at higher level.

Currently, situation is very interesting at the top with if today Liverpool won then surely they keep leading spot and difference of 3 points from Aston Villa and 5 points from the defending champions Manchester City which is having one match in hand, but they need to be more tough if they want to bring Liverpool down in this race.

If you can recall very well, this was almost the same pattern arsenal did last season that made them lose out of the title race to Manchester City, at this stage of the competition they are a bit inconsistent with their victories and I feel is a result of the fact that Arsenal does not have a second 11 team that has been built in connection with the first team, because the first 11 guys at this point have some level of fatigue and cannot really continue this consistency they possessed over this time.
Looking at the game against Fulham you could easily see that Arsenal had possessions and had more opportunities to score at the first half, at least the match would have ended that first half with the goals Arsenal would have scored, but however they lack consistency and I feel is more of fatigue on the side of the players at this point.

Still, in the end this is not too different because Arsenal's decline last season started from unexpected defeats that continued until they lost momentum and fell behind Manchester City who became their rival in the title last season.
Currently with their 2 consecutive defeats now Arsenal have begun to erode and thrown to 4th place so with this there needs to be an improvement so that what happened to them last season and the previous few seasons does not happen this season.
The increase and decrease in Arsenal's performance always occurs suddenly which makes a lot of people worried after these 2 defeats because with this it could be that they lose momentum and cannot compete for the championship.

Today's match Liverpool is likely to be a little interesting because their momentum is very good now to top the table very comfortably but Newcastle is currently still able to survive even though in the last few matches they have been quite bad.
I expect a real fight for Newcastle in this match because indeed now Newcastle is not a weak club anymore but is one of the candidate clubs to be in the Champions League or Europa League so they have to show their strength and try to get up after a few matches passed with bad results.

Usually Liverpool is always stronger when playing at Anfield, and today everyone will see that fact because Liverpool are also very aware that they have to win this match in order to create a points advantage on the standings. However, Liverpool also cannot be careless in implementing their playing pattern because the Newcastle United team is also not a weak team, especially since Newcastle United is also aiming for the best position in every match, including today's match.

Nick Pope is an important player in Newcastle United's squad. He is quite a good goalkeeper. And after Nick Pope went off injured, Newcastle's performance deteriorated further and they conceded a lot of goals. They conceded a goal against Luton Town, Newcastle United conceded 3 goals against a weak team like Nottingham Forest. If Nick Pope was in the squad, maybe the Manchester United team would not have conceded so many goals.
Many players in the squad are injured. This is why coach Eddie Howe should now boost the confidence of his squad players. In the last few games I have seen Newcastle's players lack confidence. If the players were confident, they would not have performed so badly against weaker teams.

Newcastle's performance after the change of ownership last season was outstanding. The players were very confident. So even though the squad was not strong, the performance of the players was excellent. But this season they have faced a downfall. Many players in the squad are injured. Due to this their overall performance has also become quite erratic.

As Newcastle played brilliantly last season, they should have added more talented players to the squad this season. The owner of Newcastle Management is very rich. They could have easily provided coach Eddie Howe with large funds to buy players. But they don't do it. The squad is also not strong enough. So the performance of the players has also deteriorated due to injury.

Big game for my boys tonight, we need to keep the momentum up. Man City are not going to drop many points so we just need to keep winning.

I expect us to win tonight but it might be tough. Newcastle will waste time, foul, play in a deep defensive shape. We should have too much for them though.
