Liverpool vs Newcastle United: Premier League preview

The reverse fixture in August was an emotionally-charged affair. Having grabbed a possible Alexander Isak replacement from under Newcastle's noses in the form of Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool then signed Isak from the Magpies anyway.

St James' Park was febrile. With Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa not yet in the side, Eddie Howe went with Anthony Gordon in a central attacking role for the second game.

The former Everton winger was zipping around the park for 45 minutes, clearly energised by an amped-up atmosphere, before he was sent off for somewhat accidentally clobbering Reds defender Virgil van Dijk.

Liverpool threw away a two-goal lead against 10 men but Rio Ngumoha won it after nine minutes of stoppage time.

Sixth-placed Liverpool will be hoping for a more straightforward evening at Anfield as the pressure just starts to creep up on manager Arne Slot.

The Reds were beaten at Bournemouth last weekend but absolutely walloped Qarabag in the Champions League on Wednesday to make it three European wins and clean sheets on the spin.

Only four teams have beaten Liverpool at Anfield this season: Manchester United and Nottingham Forest in the league, Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup, and PSV in the Champions League.

Liverpool aren't miles away from the top four. The questions is whether being winless in five Premier League fixtures since New Year's Day constitutes a worrying direction of travel.
