Liverpool FC play Newcastle United tonight in the Premier League as the hosts look to keep pace with Manchester City and Chelsea in the title race.
It’s been six years since Newcastle last defeated Liverpool but the Magpies were unbeaten against the Reds last campaign, drawing twice with Jurgen Klopp’s side in the Premier League.
It’s been a much tougher campaign for Newcastle this year, however, and Eddie Howe’s side come into tonight’s match 19th in the table and desperate for points in order to boost their survival hopes.
Liverpool are on a run of seven consecutive victories in all competitions and top scorer Mohamed Salah will have the chance to add to this season’s tally against a Newcastle side who came into this week’s fixtures having conceded more goals than any other team in the division.
Here’s all the information you need to know before the match tonight.
