NEW vs LIV Dream11 Tips for Premier League Newcastle vs Liverpool 31 December

NEW vs LIV Dream11: Liverpool bring an unforgettable and historic 2020 to a close at St James’ Park on Wednesday night as the champions take on Newcastle United. Both these sides are suffering from a large number of injury absentees heading into this one as the busy Christmas period starts to take its toll on teams in the Premier League. Liverpool saw Joel Matip become their latest central defender to be ruled out indefinitely after having to come off in the Reds’ 1-1 draw at home to West Brom last time out. This leaves them desperately short in that area of the pitch and Newcastle will be looking to take advantage. It would not be a surprise if Steve Bruce’s side find the net in this one when you consider the makeshift backline Liverpool will be forced to field in this game.
