Newcastle Utd. face a trip to Liverpool at Anfield on Monday 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 48 and win only 12 of the 75 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in December 2004, with Liverpool running out comfortable 3 - 1 winners in a Premiership match.
