the last time we faced Newcastle on this exact day was at Anfield in 2005 where Michael Owen returned to the sound of merciless boos and we won 2-0 with goals from Gerrard and Crouch
we go into this match with a 1 point advantage over Chelsea who will be facing Fulham away, Manure are facing Boro the next day at Old Twatford. we desperately need a win as if we lose, both 2 teams could climb above us once they play their games in hand.
Fabio Aurelio could also return but Alvaro Arbeloa is likely to remain out with a hamstring injury.
This fixture last season saw Liverpool win to a 3-0 win courtesy of goals from Gerrard, Kuyt and Babel
Martins might return for the Toons after his injury.
Beye is injured for them though after today's match.
Skertel and Torres could return as they are gaining full fitness.
we could win 1-2 but im unsure as our players might be tired...and we rocked at Bolton but surely Rafa being Rafa will change his tactics and go for the defensive with Kuyt on the right and Keane alone upfront. it is said that Mash is gonna be back in the team though.
anyway not related but Sebastian Leto just scored a solo goal here
