What is at stake in Liverpool vs. Newcastle United?

Liverpool may have finished third in the Champions League's league phase, but their domestic form has been nothing short of poor.

The Reds are without a top-flight victory in five matches, drawing four on the bounce before losing 3-2 against Bournemouth last weekend, a game that saw the Merseysiders come from two goals down only to be beaten by a last-gasp winner from the Cherries' Amine Adli.

Regardless of the circumstances, that defeat led to the defending champions dropping down to sixth in the table, where they are now two points behind bitter rivals Manchester United in fourth, adding to calls for change at Anfield.

Slot has come under immense pressure from Liverpool fans - even if reports suggest the club hierarchy continue to support the manager - and getting back to winning ways in the Premier League would be a good first step towards reconciliation.

As for Newcastle, they have endured a mixed campaign to date, but while they are currently ninth in the league, they are just three points behind Saturday's opponents.

The fact that the Magpies have a serious opportunity to climb the ranks will not be lost on Howe, but given that his team have only won one of their last five outings across all competitions (drawing two and losing two), fans would be forgiven for feeling nervous.

Taking maximum points for the first time in three Premier League games - following a 0-0 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers and 2-0 defeat against Aston Villa - could put the Toon firmly back in contention for European football.

However, another loss may cause Newcastle to drop into the bottom half, raising further questions about Howe's long-term future at the club.
