"Having fought back from 2-0 down only to fall to Amine Adli's injury‑time strike, Liverpool saw their 13‑match unbeaten run collapse, extending their winless league streak to five matches and dropping them to sixth place. Not since 1954 have the Reds opened a calendar year with six straight league games without a win-the same season they suffered their last relegation."
"In yet another defensive setback, Jeremie Frimpong limped off after four minutes against Qarabag with a suspected hamstring injury and is ruled out for Saturday. He may be one of up to five defensive absentees: Giovanni Leoni (ACL) and Conor Bradley (knee) are out, Alexander Isak remains sidelined, and both Ibrahima Konaté (personal) and Joe Gomez (head) are unlikely to return in time."
Anfield will host a crucial Saturday-night Premier League match with best odds 29/10 as Liverpool and Newcastle both chase returns to the top four. Liverpool have lost momentum, conceding a stoppage-time winner to Bournemouth to end a 13-match unbeaten run and extend their league winless run to five matches, leaving them sixth. Midweek, Liverpool beat Qarabag 6-0 to reach the Champions League last 16 and extend a seven-game home unbeaten run. Defensive injuries have hit the squad, with Jeremie Frimpong ruled out and up to five defensive absentees noted, forcing possible positional changes if Curtis Jones remains ill. Newcastle arrive still feeling the impact of Bruno Guimarães' absence from last weekend's defeat to Aston Villa.
