Liverpool is marching towards their second title since the pandemic season; in fact, it will be their second-ever Premier League title, and the parade can start with yet another win on Tuesday night.

Newcastle has proven to be a team of priorities; with the way they have prosecuted some games in recent weeks, they're about the games they're interested in only with the League Cup semis and the game against Manchester City as classic examples of how they approach things.

Newcastle turned an easy game into a tough one on Sunday as they led 4-1 against Nottingham Forest and then saw their lead cut to just one at the tail end; you wonder if they would have dropped points if they had more time against Forest.

Liverpool's 2-0 win over Manchester City was a testament to their greatness this season; you can't exactly call them a swashbuckling side, but they get things done without reaching fifth gear. Is this the dawn of their dominance in the league?

Arsenal is now rated at 2% to win the title, with an eleven-point advantage over the Gunners. The Reds are almost home and dry, and should Liverpool win on Wednesday and the Gunners fail to match their result against Nottingham Forest, you can roll out the drums already.

Arne Slot came in, unassuming and with a broad poker face. With a stable back four and the integration of Ryan Gravenberch alongside Alexis Mac Allister, not many saw the results that followed coming, especially with the fact that they didn't buy any major player to bolster their squad.

Truth be told, injuries have been quite kind to Liverpool, and they're taking full advantage of their luck; where would Liverpool be without their talismanic winger Mohammed Salah or their rock-solid defender Virgil Van Dijk? With 11 games left, can they keep them both fit till the end?

Newcastle's Alexander Isak is gunning for Salah's golden boot; the Egyptian is clear, but Isak isn't looking back after another brace against Nottingham Forest. He will be a worthy test for the Reds' defence on Wednesday, while Antony Gordon and Jacob Murphy will also play their part.

Darwin Nunez isn't Arne Slot's favorite player right now but, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota will complement Salah while Dominik Szoboszlai is enjoying his best life in the colors of the club, will he shine against Newcastle like he did against Manchester City?

Verdict: Liverpool to win.
