Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher says Newcastle United must look to win the midfield battle against Liverpool when the two sides meet at St James' Park. Jurgen Klopp's side ended a four game winless run in the Premier League with a win against Everton in the Merseyside Derby on Monday night.
However, Carragher claims Everton froze on the night, allowing Liverpool to come away with the points from the tie. That alone will be somewhat of a warning to the Magpies who have endured a lull in recent weeks.
Eddie Howe's side have drawn five of their last six Premier League fixtures, a disappointing return after taking on some of this season's strugglers. Nonetheless, the Toon are still unbeaten since August and the defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.
