Liverpool can move three points closer to winning a second Premier League title when they host Newcastle on Wednesday evening. 

There's plenty riding on the fixture with the Magpies also hunting a spot in next season's Champions League.

Odds Now tipster Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) has taken a closer look at the market to pick out a tidy 18/1 treble for the game. 

Selection #1 - Mohamed Salah to have over 1.5+ shots on target

The Egyptian's form this season has been sumptious and is on course to record one of the best individual seasons in Premier League history.

Salah was close to flawless in his side's 2-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday, scoring the opener before providing an assist for Dominik Szoboszlai later in the first half. 

His goal was also one of two shots on target he registered at the Etihad.

In fact, he's averaged 1.9 shots on target in general in the league so far, a theme you'd back him to continue against a Newcastle defence which hasn't kept a clean sheet in five.

Selection #2 - Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool) to be shown a card

Mac Allister is no stranger to going in the referee's book, having already been cautioned six times in the league and 10 times in all competitions so far. 

The fact the Argentinian has registered the fifth most fouls in the league shows he's always in the thick of the action, averaging 2.8 tackles per game in the process.

Mac Allister also made a whopping five tackles in Liverpool's recent visit to Aston Villa and will face an equally rugged Newcastle midfield here, as we'll touch on shortly.

With a physical encounter anticipated, another booking could be on the cards (excuse the pun) once again.

Selection #3 - Bruno Guimaraes to be shown a card

Similar can be said of Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes, who has already made 39 fouls in the league.

The Brazilian has already averaged 2.1 tackles per game, which has led to four yellow cards in 26 appearances. 

Two of those fouls came against Nottingham Forest and, given the midfield is a key operating hub of both of these sides, getting on side with another Guimaraes booking looks an astute pick.
