The Reds aim to continue with the embrace in the Premier League against a deflated Magpies that accumulate two dates without winning. The action does not stop in the Premier League and, in the framework of the 24th round, Liverpool visits Newcastle with the aim of continuing to add three to three to climb positions in the standings in England. The Magpies, meanwhile, are looking to get back to winning ways after two 1-1 draws to stay in the top half of the table.

Jürgen Klopp's side are fired up for the challenge after returning to the fold last weekend after four games without a win, when they beat Everton 2-0 with goals from Mohamed Salah ('36) and Cody Gakpo ('49), his first in the net for his new club.

The result moved the Reds up to ninth with 32 points. For their part, Eddie Howe's side have had a great season, currently fourth in the standings with 41 points. In recent weeks, however, they have left some doubts after two consecutive 1-1 draws, the previous one against Bournemouth with a goal from Paraguayan Miguel Almirón (45'+2).

Anfield will be a factor in Liverpool's favour

But the game between Liverpool and Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League is also on the cards. In this respect, former Manchester City striker Sergio Agüero acknowledged the greatness of the Reds and, in passing, played down the Spanish fans: “It's true that this season Liverpool is not at the level of previous ones. The issue of so many injuries hurt their performance. The faster you can get them back, the better chance you have of putting up a fight. It is true that Liverpool is not at its best. But it is Liverpool and it is Anfield”.
