Leader for two days, Liverpool are favorites for this first shock of the year across the Channel. Undefeated in the league since the end of September, the Reds have found form since the start of the season, with a new lease of life breathed in by the same men, Jürgen Klopp and Mohamed Salah in the lead. Opposite, Newcastle seems to suffer from the sequence of matches (qualified in C1 this season) and presents a sad record of 6 defeats for a single victory in December. So much so that the Eddie Howe gang, a surprise team from the previous season, is currently in an anonymous 9th place.
