Liverpool's next five fixtures in 15 days as Arne Slot faces crucial title run-in Liverpool face a crucial fortnight as Arne Slot's side look to tighten their grip on the Premier League title.
"It's not only for them good to once in a while have a week where they only play one game, but also for the ones that were here today, they need the intensity of the game because you can keep on training with them but once in a while they need a game as well.".
Perhaps the toughest challenge of the February run comes on 23 February when Slot will take his side to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City.
Slot's men have been flying this season and have still only lost one league game, at the hands of Nottingham Forest way back in September.
A thrilling 3-3 draw played out at St James' Park in December, though Newcastle's last Premier League win away at the Reds came way back in April 1994.
