Liverpool continues to charge the title against Newcastle on Wednesday, after scoring 11 points at the top of the Premier League during the weekend.
The Premier League returning to Anfield now seems only a matter of time, as the Reds beat Manchester City 2-0 in Etihad on Sunday, while Newcastle strengthened their top hopes with a 4-3 win over Nottingham Forest earlier in the day.

He is also a Carabao Cup pre-lecturer who will play at Wembley next month, with both sides wanting to land a blow in front of the battle for the first piece of silverware this season.
