Liverpool will be back in action on Saturday, seeking to strengthen their push for a top four finish when they welcome Newcastle United at Anfield. They go to this game placed sixth in the Premier League standings with 53 points while Newcastle United have 35 points, in 15th place. Liverpool are currently two points behind Chelsea, who are in fourth place. A top four place is the best The Reds can play for in the remaining matches and they find themselves in a congested race after a poor run lately. Tottenham are just three points below Liverpool, who are coming from a draw with Leeds United. Lately, the team has registered much improvement in league action and go here unbeaten in four matches, with three wins and two clean sheets. In their last league game at home, Liverpool came from down to beat Aston Villa. They will hope to build on it on the back of a run of six losses in the last nine league matches at home. In their last seven home league matches, Liverpool have failed to score.

Newcastle United have been a different side since their loss to Brighton and have really stepped up their charge to rise away from the relegation zone. In the last five matches, they’ve collected eight points, six of which have come from the last two matches. They staged a fine comeback to stun Burnley 2-1 before withstanding a late onslaught at home to beat West Ham United 3-2 in their latest game. They still need to sort their defence though, having conceded in each of their last five matches, a total of nine goals. Each of their last four matches has produced over 2.5 goals. The win at Burnley was their first in five away league games. They had lost three of the earlier four and being just eight points above the relegation zone, they’ll be expected to go all out here.
