Eddie Howe has praised Liverpool as a “high-class” team after his Newcastle team was defeated at Anfield. Liverpool moved 13 points ahead of Arsenal in the Premier League title chase with a comfortable victory over Newcastle on Wednesday evening.

The Reds are on the brink of securing their 20th league title in history, having successfully navigated a punishing schedule over the past two weeks. Alexander Isak, Newcastle’s leading scorer, was accompanied by Joelinton on the sidelines as they prepared to travel to Anfield.

However, Liverpool appeared to be the Premier League champions in waiting, so it is unlikely that the Magpies would have been able to capitalise on their full-strength performance. The Reds could be excused for playing with heavier legs against Newcastle after playing so many challenging games in such a brief period.

Eddie Howe was struck by Liverpool’s “high-class” atmosphere. In recent years, Newcastle has been a formidable opponent for Liverpool; however, they have seldom emerged victorious. In fact, it may come as a surprise to some that the Magpies have not defeated the Reds in any competition since December 2015. The streak has now extended to 17 contests.

Howe has been an effective manager for Newcastle; however, he has been unable to overcome Liverpool. In an interview with newcastleunited.com following another loss at Anfield, the 47-year-old

acknowledged that the Reds are “extremely dangerous” in all aspects of the game. “I believed it to be a highly competitive game,” stated Howe. “Liverpool are undoubtedly a top-tier team that is extremely dangerous in all aspects.” “I commend the team on one phase: counterattack defence.”

“They have such a fast pace during transitions, and I believe we defended those moments quite well.” Liverpool maintains an advantage in the Carabao Cup final. Obviously, Wednesday’s match served as a sort of dress rehearsal for the forthcoming Carabao Cup final between these two clubs.

According to Howe, Isak’s return to fitness for the match at Wembley will immediately enhance Newcastle’s prospects of victory.

However, Liverpool will maintain a not trivial phycological advantage, given Newcastle’s dismal record against the Reds. The Magpies may believe that they are due a victory, and what better opportunity to achieve it than in a cup final. But Liverpool demonstrated precisely how to handle them on Wednesday and should be assured of doing so once more.
