Newcastle United are having a dream season. With the correct investments and Eddie Howe's pragmatic tactics they have gone from relegation battlers to Champions League contenders. However, their current run of form isn't with only one win in their last 5 games.

And in Liverpool not only do they meet an opponent who are the only club to defeat them in the league this season, but an adversary they haven't overcome in their last 12 meetings. Morale will be high within the Reds after their Merseyside Derby victory against Everton. Despite their rut, this campaign, a win against Newcastle United could propel them to climb up the table to their usual spot on it.
