Newcastle will hope to stop the Liverpool juggernaut tonight as Arne Slot’s Premier League leaders arrive on Tyneside.
Liverpool proved beyond doubt that they are the team to beat this season with a 2-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday that was more convincing than the scoreline suggests.
That victory moved them nine points clear of the chasing pack.
Newcastle were held to a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace at the weekend and will have to overcome a record of four draws and 11 defeats in their last 15 league games with Liverpool.
