Liverpool host Newcastle in the Premier League tonight, in a meeting of two sides at opposite ends of the table.
Liverpool defeated Aston Villa 1-0 on Saturday thanks to Mohamed Salah’s penalty as Jurgen Klopp’s side kept pace with Manchester City and Chelsea in the title race.
The Reds have won five straight matches in the Premier League and will be looking to extend that run against Newcastle, who are desperate for points under Eddie Howe.
Newcastle come into tonight’s match 19th in the table and suffered a 4-0 defeat to Leicester last weekend. Their trip to Anfield kicks of a run of matches against Premier League champions City and a resurgent Manchester United.
