Newcastle take on Liverpool inside Premier League Saturday and win Eddie Howeside could close the gap between the top three.
Newcastle renewed their form this season and are fourth, five points behind. Manchester United. They’ve taken a light hit in the Premier League recently with three draws in a row – the last time they won a league game, they played against Fulham on 15 January and the team walked away with a 1-0 win.
Howe will want to stop losing points, especially when they’re just two points behind fifth-placed Tottenham. After such a brilliant first half of the season, it will be Newcastle’s goal to be in the top four in this campaign.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are hoping to bolster their 2-0 win over Everton on Monday with another win that will close the gap in Champions League places. A defeat for Jurgen Klopp’s side would certainly rob them of any chance of a top four finish.
