Liverpool is subsequent to play Newcastle United.

Saturday’s match will kick off at 5:30pm at St James’ Park.

Liverpool, the one Premier League crew to beat Newcastle United this season, in August 2022, other than Jurgen Klopp’s crew, additionally the final visiting crew to win at St James’ Park, which was in Might 2022, in the past solely 9 months.

Nonetheless, Saturday is a real Quandary for Liverpool.

That is how the Premier League desk seems to be at present (Tuesday, February 14) forward of Saturday’s recreation:

Monday night time’s 2-0 win over a poor Everton aspect introduced big reduction for Jurgen Klopp after a four-game run within the Premier League that had seen a goalless draw towards Chelsea and three losses to Brentford. , Wolves and Brighton, every time conceding three objectives.

Liverpool have already been knocked out of each home cup competitions, on high of that, 19 factors behind league leaders Arsenal suggests there isn’t any probability of profitable the Premier League.

So this weekend, Liverpool’s Catch 22 second is whether or not to prioritize making an attempt to win the Champions League, or making an attempt to complete within the high 4 within the Premier League to qualify for the subsequent Champions League competitors… which while you say it like that, it would not sound like every dilemma, to most individuals.

Liverpool solely must win three extra qualifiers and they are going to be within the Champions League last.

The primary of those begins on Tuesday night time, Actual Madrid at Anfield within the first leg of their spherical of 16.

Forgetting Actual Madrid for a second on Tuesday, you can see why Liverpool may throw all of it away in Saturday’s recreation.

As just about is crucial if they’re to have any probability of getting the highest 4 this season, in the event that they win, then Liverpool could be a recreation down and 6 factors behind Newcastle United who’re at the moment fourth.

If Jurgen Klopp’s aspect lose at St James’ Park, they might be 12 factors behind Newcastle United and absolutely not have to simply accept any probability of constructing the highest 4 this season.

I’ve little question that Klopp will play his strongest crew accessible on Tuesday night time towards Actual Madrid, the query is, will he do the identical towards Newcastle United?

I simply cannot see it, not solely do you solely have three days between the 2 video games, however Klopp additionally has a number of Liverpool gamers who’ve simply returned from damage, he’s certainly not placing them into two video games that shut to one another. different.

I do not suppose it is a case of the Liverpool supervisor losing Saturday’s recreation, quite he’ll be considering of making an attempt to deliver out a crew that offers them an opportunity to beat Newcastle, with out hurting their probabilities. towards Actual Madrid.

The largest query of all, can Newcastle United benefit from this Liverpool dilemma?
