Liverpool vs Newcastle Match Preview

Liverpool’s failing Premier League defense continued last weekend Defeated against Bournemouth And now Arne hosts the Magpies in another tough-looking slot side.

That defeat left the Reds outside the top four and they cannot afford to lose again, Jamie Carragher suggested this week. The future of slots Champions League football can be relied upon to secure.

The Reds had an easy and morale-boosting win in Europe in midweek but will have seen off Newcastle in a thrilling performance. Draw in Paris.

However, Newcastle have won just three away games all season.

Slott’s side look stretched in defense but he is not expected to make any late moves in the transfer market.

He said: “As a club we always make decisions, because we at least think smart decisions, so we don’t just look at the short term, we look at the long term, that’s why we sign very good players but young people who can still develop.

“It always depends on whether there are players available that we think can help us, and if they are, can we afford them and can they be helpful for the long-term future because our players will also come back from injury.

“What we don’t want is a team where we have four right-backs and 12 midfielders and three or four number nines. That’s not how it works here so we have to do smart things for the immediate future, but also for the long term.”
