Newcastle – Away
A lucky win over Bournemouth gave Newcastle the precious three points and saw them being lifted out from the relegation zone and they would be looking to stay out of the drop zone for the rest of the season. Steve McClaren’s men haven’t been the luckiest themselves, but they should hope that this result is a mark of better things to come.
Everyone remembers the great match between Liverpool and Newcastle all those years ago but times have changed a lot since that Stan Collymore goal. Newcastle would have played Palace and Leicester before playing Liverpool and even though Liverpool would have played a couple of extra games, in the Europa League and in the League Cup, they should have just about enough to get the three points against the Toons.
