The Big Preview - Liverpool vs. Newcastle

Rafa Benitez returns to Anfield for only the second time since managing Liverpool, desperate for points in the fight to avoid relegation. His only other visit was with Chelsea three years ago in an eventful 2-2 draw in which Luis Suarez infamously took a bite out of Branislav Ivanovic.

It's been a good week for Benitez's team with a win over Swansea followed by a useful point at home to Manchester City, but this one looks a tall order.

Liverpool are flying after putting four past Everton, and they have scored 12 goals in their last three home games.

If Newcastle get anything here, it will bring to an end a run of nine straight defeats away from home and give them their first point on the road in 2016.
