Not for the first time this season Liverpool must pick themselves up quickly after a bitterly disappointing result last time out.

Sunday's Premier League visit of Newcastle United follows swiftly on from the demise of the club's League Cup defence against Swansea City in midweek and the match also represents Liverpool's fifth game in 16 days.

Newcastle currently sit 10th in the league standings, two points and two places above Liverpool. Both sides will want to improve on their current positions and quickly, making this an important clash.

KICK-OFF: Sunday, 4pm
