Head-to-head
Liverpool have won six of their last seven meetings with Newcastle. The only exception was the Magpies’ 3-1 victory in this fixture last season, which was also Alan Pardew’s first match in charge.
The winning team has scored a minimum of three goals in the last seven league meetings between theses two sides.
Newcastle
Newcastle are aiming for a third consecutive league win. They’ve done that once previously this season.
Papiss Cisse has scored five league goals for Newcastle since his debut on 5 February.
United have reached 50 points from their first 30 Premier League matches for the first time for nine years.
As a player, Pardew scored the winning goal for Crystal Palace against Liverpool in their 4-3 FA Cup semi-final victory in April 1990. He was also a member of the Palace team that lost 9-0 at Anfield in September 1989.
Liverpool
Liverpool have lost five of their last six league matches. They have only won twice in their 11 league matches in 2012.
The Reds have lost five of their last six away league matches, including the last three.
Kenny Dalglish has picked up just eight points in his last 10 Premier League matches with Liverpool, which is five fewer than the points Roy Hodgson picked up in his last 10 league matches in charge of the club before he was sacked.
Dalglish managed Newcastle in 1997-98; he is unbeaten against them in the Premier League as a manager (W4, D2).
