Liverpool can recover vital early ground on Manchester City when they face Manchester United on Monday evening, after Pep Guardiola's side dropped two points against Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon.
The Premier League Champions had won their first two matches of the season and with Jurgen Klopp's side only achieving back-to-back draws, a win against Newcastle would have given the Sky Blues a seven-point advantage over the Reds before the trip to Old Trafford.
But Eddie Howe's rejuvenated Magpies were in no mood to roll over for City and despite falling behind to an early Ilkay Gundogan, they fought back with goals from Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson to turn the match on its head.
