After picking up a comfortable win over the Canaries at the weekend, the Magpies are back against the Reds in this lunch-time league clash, looking to land a huge blow on their Premier League title hopes. Newcastle United vs. Liverpool FC kicks off at 12:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 30, at St. James' Park.
Newcastle United picked up four victories in a row, LWWWW, following the 3-0 win over Norwich City last weekend at Carrow Road. A brace from Joelinton (35' & 41'), coupled with a goal from Bruno Guimaraes (49'), decided the outcome of the duel. The win saw the Magpies move three spots up the table, from 11th to 9th place, having picked up 43 points from 11W, 10D, and 13L. After early-season struggles, Newcastle are now looking to secure a top-ten finish, and a win here would see the club take a step in that direction.
