Liverpool vs Newcastle


Liverpool vs Newcastle

Liverpool are looking to end their turbulent season on a strong note when they entertain Newcastle in one of the the final matches of this season’s Premier League. Today’s Liverpool vs Newcastle matchup might have little implications on the grander title/relegation picture of the Barclays Premier League, but Dalglish will surely want to keep his unbeaten streak at home going following last week’s impressive 5-0 victory over Birmingham. Newcastle are safe from the relegation zone so will just aim to end their first season back from the Champinoship in proud fashion.
