Kenny Dalglish: "Obviously, for different reasons, both Liverpool and Newcastle have to win this weekend.
Newcastle To Send Hull Down!
"Liverpool will know exactly where they stand because Manchester United play Middlesbrough on Saturday morning.
"According to reports, Fergie is going to make a few changes but he doesn't pick too many bad sides. I don't think he can put a bad side out.
"Obviously their eyes are on the top of the league with Newcastle's eyes unfortunately on trying to save themselves from relegation.
"I think they'll stay up.
"I think it was a difficult game against Pompey and maybe if either Obafemi Martins or Michael Owen put their chances away, they could've been sitting there with three points.
"Obviously a goal gives everyone a bit of confidence.
"They've got two home games left - Bolton and Middlesbrough. If they win those two, they've got 37 points.
"Look at Hull. If they get three points against Bolton, it'll be them on 37. I don't see too many points coming for either Newcastle or Hull apart from that so Newcastle would stay up on goal difference."
