LIVERPOOL and Newcastle round off Saturday’s Premier League action with a mouth-watering contest at St. James’ Park.
The Reds finally recorded their first league win of 2023 against Merseyside rivals Everton last weekend.

However, the Reds come up against a top-four dreaming Newcastle side who have only lost one league game all season.
But Eddie Howe’s men will be cautious as that defeat came against Liverpool.
Joe Willock, Javier Manquillo, Emil Krafth and Matt Targett are all expected to miss the Liverpool clash while Bruno Guimaraes remains suspended.
Miguel Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin will need to be assessed after being forced off in the 1-1 draw with Bournemouth.
However, Callum Wilson and Jamaal Lascelles should be fit and raring to go.
Elsewhere, Jurgen Klopp will have to continue without Diogo Ibrahima Konate, Luis Diaz and Thiago Alcantara.
But the Liverpool boss has received a triple injury boost in the form of Virgil Van Dijk, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino.
