Premier League predictions: Robbie Savage looks ahead to Newcastle vs Liverpool

Liverpool face a must-win clash at Newcastle as they bid to keep their title hopes alive.

The Reds now trail Manchester City by a point, with the Premier League champions hosting Leicester on Monday.

Liverpool know a victory at St James' Park will put the pressure back on City, with fans hoping for a favour from former Kop boss Brendan Rodgers.

Looking ahead to the clash, Rodgers said: "I am employed by Leicester. My focus is on Leicester City.

“It’s exciting to be involved and being able to effect it but my thoughts are solely with Leicester and doing what we can to get a result.

"We will be doing everything we can, in every game, to get a result so I think its a wonderful opportunity for us. It's certainly not a negative."

Elsewhere, Tottenham and Chelsea can boost their chances of finishing in the top four, while Arsenal cannot afford to lose to Brighton .

The Segulls have worries of their own at the other end of the table and are not yet safe.

Cardiff trail Brighton by four points with two games to go and anything other than a win against Crystal Palace will send them down.

Ahead of the penultimate round of fixtures, Robbie Savage has looked into his crystal ball and offered his predictions.
