'Tough': Chris Sutton predicts the result of tomorrow's Premier League clash between Liverpool and Newcastle

Yesterday at 02:00 PM

Liverpool continue their quest for success under Arne Slot when they travel to Newcastle United in the Premier League.

Andy Robertson is enjoying life under Slot, with Liverpool currently top of the Premier League and Champions League tables.

Five wins from five have been secured in the latter, with the Anfield club winning 11 of their 13 matches in the former.

Pep Guardiola labelled Liverpool 'unstoppable' after their latest win, which involved a 2-0 victory against defending champions Man City.

Slot and the Reds now travel to St James' Park on Wednesday to take on Eddie Howe's Newcastle, who currently sit 11th in the table.

Both managers have injury worries ahead of the game, with defensive duo Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley set to miss out for the visitors.

It should, however, be an exciting match under the lights, with Chris Sutton now predicting the result for BBC Sport.

"Newcastle have looked a little flat recently, and have been lacking a cutting edge," he said. "This is still a tough game for Liverpool, though, off the back of such a big week for them with wins over Real Madrid and Manchester City.

"The Magpies have already beaten Arsenal at St James’ Park this season and they are certainly capable of getting something against Liverpool too, but you just cannot back against the leaders at the moment.

"Arne Slot has such great strength in depth right through his squad and they can win games in different ways. Even if they do drop points here, their bubble is not going to burst anytime soon. Sutton’s prediction: 1-2."

Arne Slot continues to pass Liverpool tests with flying colours

Despite his brief time in the Anfield dugout, Slot continues to not only meet the questions asked of him, but go beyond.

Tricky tests so far range from his first Premier League game to first game at Anfield, but they were passed long ago.

There was then heavy discussion about a very difficult period for the Reds, which included matches against Man City, Bayer Leverkusen, Aston Villa and Real Madrid among others.

That period is still ongoing with Newcastle up next, but the Merseyside outfit look more than capable of stepping up when it really matters under the Dutchman.

Dealing with injuries and fatigue will now be the challenge, but Liverpool have a large and talented squad that should be able to cope with those issues.
