Newcastle Vs Liverpool Head to Head: The SportsRush brings you the head to head statistics between Newcastle United and Liverpool.
Newcastle will invite Liverpool to St. James Park in a late Saturday night kick off in what might promise to a title decider. The visitors cannot afford to drop points as they play catch-up to Manchester City for the league title.
Liverpool suffered a massive 3-0 defeat to Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League Semifinals, but Jurgen Klopp has said that the whole squad is solely concentrating on the next challenge against Newcastle United. The Reds were arguably the better side of the two on Wednesday night, but the lack of cutting edge in the final third proved costly. They will be hoping to rectify that problem against Rafa Benitez’s side.
Newcastle United were fighting to avoid relegation in the first half of the league, but they have turned it around post-Christmas.
