Liverpool take on Newcastle in the Premier League tonight, with the league leaders looking to keep up their 11-point lead at the top of the table.
The Reds’ convincing 2-0 win over Manchester City at the weekend means that they are another step closer to a 20th top-flight title, and tonight they face one of their toughest remaining games as they take on the Magpies at Anfield.
Eddie Howe’s side stayed on course for the Champions League places with a dramatic 4-3 win over Nottingham Forest last week, and they sit in fifth ahead of kick-off, level on points with fourth-placed Manchester City.
Both sides will likely have an eye on March’s Carabao Cup final as they face off for the penultimate time this season, and this is a game that promises fireworks after the 3-3 draw at St. James’ Park in December.

Eddie Howe’s side earned a dramatic 4-3 win over Nottingham Forest last week, and they come into the game firmly in the hunt for Champions League qualification, in fifth place and level on points with City in fourth.
These two sides played out one of the games of the season in a 3-3 draw at St. James’ Park in December, though a repeat of that result favours one side far more than the other tonight.
