Liverpool v Newcastle: match preview

Steve Bruce welcomed the fact that “the big six have took a slapping” over their duplicitous attempts to get even richer at the expense of the football pyramid and would enjoy landing another on Liverpool as he looks to secure Newcastle’s safety. Back-to-back wins have bolstered those prospects but Newcastle have won only one Premier League game at Anfield – in April 1994 – and Liverpool have won more home games against them than any other club in the Premier League era. Now that Champions League qualification is presumably important again to Liverpool’s owners, they will be looking to Jürgen Klopp’s team to provide a timely distraction. Andy Hunter
