Newcastle riled Jurgen Klopp by poaching one of his top analysts and tempers flared when one of Eddie Howe's coaches launched a bottle at the Liverpool bench in August - don't be surprised if the red mist descends tonight with top four on the line

Newcastle and Liverpool played out two Premier League classics in the 1990s with the Reds emerging 4-3 victors on both occasions, and this weekend's clash between the two clubs promises to be another fascinating encounter.

Despite progressing to the Carabao Cup final, Newcastle have endured a dip in form lately, drawing five of their last six top-flight matches, while Liverpool have had a bitterly disappointing campaign and find themselves playing catch-up in the race for the top four.

Both sides will get the chance to take out their frustrations on each other on Saturday, and that suits them just fine as they are not particularly fond of one another.
