Liverpool prepare to entertain Newcastle United at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Reds are clearly on top, having won 47 and lost only 12 of the 74 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Anfield 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.
