Newcastle United have a brilliant opportunity to derail Liverpool’s lofty aspirations when Jurgen Klopp brings his side to St James’ Park on Saturday. The Reds, having won the Carabao Cup, are still fighting to win the Premier League as well as the FA Cup and Champions League.
Should they be successful in all three remaining competitions, they would become the first English team to complete the quadruple but they still have plenty of work to do, especially in the league. They trail Manchester City by one point heading into the 34th game of the season and would go ahead of them, at least momentarily, with victory on Tyneside.
Pep Guardiola’s side would then have to react in their 5:30pm kick-off away at Leeds who are in the midst of a relegation battle. Everyone involved with Man City will be desperate for Eddie Howe’s side to do them a favour and, as one of the form sides in Europe, the Magpies have a chance of disrupting Liverpool’s rhythm.
