The international break is over and this weekend we return
too Barclays Premier League action, the 12.45pm kick off sees Liverpool take a
trip to Tyneside to play Newcastle in what promises to be an enthralling
encounter.
Liverpool are currently flying high in the standings and see
themselves in 2nd position, Newcastle however have had a stuttering
start and find themselves in 11th place although a win could
potentially move them into 6th.
In terms of teams;
Liverpool may welcome back
Glen Johnson and Philippe Coutinho to the squad which is a massive boost, Joe
Allen and Aly Cissokho may also return from injury to play some part and Lucas
is back from his suspension.
Newcastle will be without
the steadying influence of Coloccini at the back but do not have any other
fresh injury concerns.
Going by recent history it should be an exciting encounter
with matches in recent years possessing plenty of goals and great moments such
as the wonderful Suarez goal in the reverse fixture last season, Newcastle will
certainly be hoping that a repeat of last years fixture is not on the cards when they
went down 6-0 after a scintillating Liverpool performance.
The match is likely to be close with Liverpool the most
likely winners although a draw seems a real possibility based on the usual
closeness of this fixture. Suarez and Sturridge will be too much for the
opposition defence in my opinion and I expect Liverpool to run out winners.
My
Prediction: Newcastle 1-3 Liverpool
