Newcastle Utd. face a trip to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Magpies will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 47 and win only 12 of the 74 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Premiership match.
