Newcastle vs. Liverpool: Odds, Preview, Live Stream, TV Info

The penultimate gameweek of the Premier League season is upon us, and Liverpool will be hoping to maintain their title challenge as they travel to Newcastle United on Saturday.

The Reds suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Barcelona in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final, likely meaning their best chance of silverware will be if the Sky Blues slip up in their final two league games.

As Messi curled his free-kick past Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker on Wednesday, Reds fans in the Camp Nou stood mesmerised.

Klopp's side gave an excellent account of themselves in Catalonia. However, the loss to the La Liga champions could see Liverpool end the season without a trophy.

The Anfield giants have emerged as one of the best teams on the planet in the past 12 months, making advancements in defence to complement their outstanding attack.

However, with Manchester City maintaining their form, Liverpool know their league destiny is not in their hands.

A victory against the Magpies is essential, and if City drop points against a resurgent Leicester, Liverpool could yet get their hands on the crown that has eluded them for 29 years.

Klopp has formed a squad worthy of winning the title, and all Liverpool can do is collect the next six points on offer.

The German boss told BT Sport he was pleased with his team's display against Barca, but that his attention had already switched to Newcastle:

The Magpies have done just enough to keep their heads above water this season. Newcastle's upturn in form has seen them surge 11 points clear of the relegation zone, affording them a stress-free end to the campaign.

Former Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez has done a commendable job with a limited budget on Tyneside, and the Spaniard remains a popular figure among Reds fans.

The hosts are unbeaten in their past three in the league, and the form of Ayoze Perez and Isaac Hayden means the Reds cannot take Newcastle lightly.

Hayden expressed a desire to leave the club for family reasons during an interview with The Times' George Caulkin in March. Following a breakout campaign, during which he has registered four assists, he would be a significant loss if he departs in the summer.

This season has been one of the most memorable in Premier League history as a result of Liverpool's and Manchester City's unrivalled consistency.

Guardiola holds all the cards moving into the last two fixtures, but Klopp could still have an ace up his sleeve if the champions drop points.
