Liverpool are in pole position to win the league title for only the second time in 35 years, after their win over Manchester City took them 11 points clear of nearest challengers Arsenal.
With that in mind, a win against a high-flying Newcastle side would be another big step towards the title, and perhaps an early statement of intent between the two ahead of the Carabao Cup final next month.
The Reds are flying at the top of the table and are widely expected to win the title, though will tonight be without manager Arne Slot – who is serving a touchline ban following his sending off at Everton earlier this month.
Liverpool took another major step towards the Premier League title after a perfect weekend for Arne Slot’s side.
Arne Slot will not be on the touchline as Liverpool host Newcastle in the Premier League tonight.
