Liverpool will return to Anfield to keep a date with Newcastle United in a premier league clash this weekend. The Reds are currently placed 12th after 9 round of matches and they behind Alan Pardew's Newcastle on the log standings. Brendan Rodgers couldn't prevent his former side(Swansea) from sending Liverpool out of the Capital One Cup on Wednesday night.
The Welsh team stunned the League cup holders with a 3-1 win at Anfield. Luis Suarez's goal was just a consolation for the Reds.
Doubts
Newcastle United may miss the service of Demba Ba who is the joint top scorer of the Premier League with seven goals. The Senegalese striker sustained an injury in their last match that ended 2-1. Meanwhile,Pepe Reina is expected to make a return to the Liverpool line up against the Toons on Sunday. The Spaniard has missed his club's last three games due to a hamstring problem. Glen Johnson is also a major doubt for the mouth-watering cracker that will go down between the Reds and their visitors.
Hot Players
Luis Suarez seems to have found his fantastic goal form he had while playing for Ajax. The Uruguayan striker has scored six league goals and a total of about 10 goals this season. He single handedly prevented Liverpool from losing to arch-rivals, Everton on Sunday.
Prediction:
With Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez on the starting line up, the Anfield faithfuls should be rest assured of celebrating some goals against the Tyneside.
On the other hand,injury worries and loss of form could cost Newcastle all the three points at stake in the Merseyside city.
Liverpool 3-2 Newcastle
