Hello, and welcome to The Athletic's coverage of Newcastle United's Premier League clash with Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp's side need a win if they are to keep ...

There has been a few misplaced passes from the visitors as the Magpies have been relentless with their press. The Reds seem to have taken a lot of confidence from that opening goal. 25' Newcastle 0-1 Liverpool Targett appears to catch the winger but he stays on his feet and tries to cut the ball back before it is intercepted. 28' Newcastle 0-1 Liverpool 32' Newcastle 0-1 Liverpool 36' Newcastle 0-1 Liverpool 37' Newcastle 0-1 Liverpool Milner then fires wide from distance from corner. Jurgen Klopp's side took a deserved lead through a bit of brilliance when Naby Keita showed great footwork to create space and score into the empty net. #NUFClacking a bit of a focal point & can't get Saint-Maximin in the game enough. Can they end Newcastle's 11-game unbeaten run at St. James' Park?

As the season is coming to end, Jurgen Klopp's squad depth will become vital, as Liverpool continue on their journey to an historic quadruple.

Liverpool are still fighting on three fronts because Jurgen Klopp can make as many changes to his starting XI as he did in the 1-0 win at Newcastle.

Klopp has been able to rely on each and every one of them so far, but he can't control everything and even Liverpool's undefeated run in the Premier League this calendar year may not be enough to win the title. Any failure to win in any competition will be a hammer blow to their hopes of a Quadruple, so every player has to turn up when selected. But while Liverpool's destiny is in their own hands in the Champions League and FA Cup final, where they face Chelsea at Wembley on May 14, they can only hope their best is good enough in the Premier League. For Klopp's team to win a second title in three seasons, they need City to slip up somewhere. But Milly is a role model and he has set standards in a way that have educated all of us." He is very helpful in the dressing room, especially for a manager whose native language isn't English, but he is important on the pitch too and he played a super game today. There is also a strong possibility that they will meet again, six days later, in the Champions League final in Paris; both clubs head into this week's semifinal second legs with aggregate leads against Villarreal (Liverpool lead 2-0) and Real Madrid (City lead 4-3).

In the ultra close Premier League title race, Liverpool rest star players yet deliver a crucial victory over Newcastle United.

In fact, since January 2, the only result that has harmed Liverpool in any way was the 2-2 draw at Manchester City. A crucial second leg match against Villareal in the Champions League semi-final on Tuesday night awaits, where Liverpool are up 2-0 after the first leg win. In fact, it was the first time this Premier League season that Klopp fielded a team without one of Fabinho, Thiago, Alexander-Arnold, or Salah in the starting XI.

"We competed well but lacked the quality that could have got us a goal. It's really difficult to get a feeling for the game." "The only plan they had was the long ball to our right side... We controlled the game in so many ways," added Klopp. "Coming here with five changes and building pretty much a new setup is really difficult, so the performance was absolutely outstanding. "It's the most difficult of circumstances.

"We knew coming here the way they play, we suffered a lot in the first half," Guardiola said. Coming here with five changes and building pretty much a new setup is really difficult, so the performance was absolutely outstanding." Liverpool have kept 21 clean sheets in the league this season - more than any other side. Klopp's men have picked up 40 points from the last 42 on offer, only dropping points away to City.

Newcastle's midfielder appeared more talented when they played together a decade ago but Henderson his risen higher.

He made nearly twice as many passes as Shelvey over the game at a far higher accuracy, including the swift forward pass to Naby Keïta that eventually led to the only goal. In 2013 the former England cricket captain Mike Atherton wrote a column on the retirement of Mark Ramprakash. It wasn’t hard to detect a slight note of irritation as he discussed how “talented” Ramprakash was perceived to be. Henderson, it hardly needs saying, is the Atherton in this analogy. But which is worth more, a cover drive of such fluency it sends a flutter through the guts of even the most hardened observer, or the ability to face down Allan Donald for hours and occasionally nudge the ball off the pads for four? It was Shelvey who appeared the more talented. At that point, Shelvey was arguably the better prospect.

“We knew coming here the way they play, we suffered a lot in the first half,” Guardiola said. “But in the end we had control and could have scored more. Watford remain in 19th place on 22 points, seven behind Everton. Coming here with five changes and building pretty much a new setup is really difficult, so the performance was absolutely outstanding.” Liverpool have kept 21 clean sheets in the league this season – more than any other side. Klopp’s men have picked up 40 points from the last 42 on offer, only dropping points away to City.

In the circumstances, it was a top-class performance.” It was an outstanding football game, to be honest. Watford was also on the brink of going straight back down to the Championship after it lost to Burnley 2-1 to become the first team in top-flight history to lose 11 straight home games. We draw, they (Liverpool) will be champions.” We win, we will be champions. Then City won at Leeds 4-0 a few hours later to move back above Liverpool by one point and also move to within one of Liverpool’s goal difference, which is the first tiebreaker in England.

Alisson Becker 7.5 · Joe Gomez 8 · Joel Matip 8 · Virgil Van Dijk 7.5 · Andy Robertson 7.5 · Jordan Henderson 7 · James Milner 8 · Naby Keita 9.

Was unlucky with an overhit through ball to him towards the end. My preference for Jota would be from the left, however, he is more than capable enough to play through the middle. Andy Robertson dominated the left-hand side of the pitch. The amount of times this season the Brazilian has faced one on ones and not been beaten feels like some kind of record, although a good percentage of them are given offside anyway. Cross after cross the home side put in, the both of them together dealt with. The Reds took over Manchester City at the top of the league, even though it was just a few hours.

Jürgen Klopp sung the praises of his talented Liverpool squad after his gamble to rotate players paid off with a 1-0 win over Newcastle.

We did 100% against a team in top form in a top atmosphere. “In the circumstances it was a top class performance. We weren’t a genuine counter-attacking threat. “We’ve improved in a lot of aspects of our play, but it shows also there’s a gap that we have to bridge to the top teams. “It was incredibly difficult for the boys today, to be honest; we played two and a half days ago,” he said. The group is exceptional, exceptionally talented and really good characters.”

"We're doing everything we can to make sure we can stay in this league. They play before, they are going to win all games. We have to win all our games to be champions.

Another weekend another pair of wins for the Premier League's best two teams, but who has the edge down the stretch?

The defensive pressure in open play from Leeds United was good until Stuart Dallas went out with an injury during stoppage time of the first half, but it highlights all the ways that City can dominate. Looking at the strength of sides that each face, the advantage would go to Manchester City since Liverpool have to host Spurs but Antonio Conte's side has been far from consistent this season. Liverpool dominated in the match, taking 24 shots for an xG of 1.90 but what's more impressive was their defensive composure against a much improved Newcastle team. So, not only can the teams not slip up in the league but they also need to ensure that they maintain focus on goals stretched across multiple competitions. On Saturday, Liverpool defeated Newcastle United 1-0, in a match that wasn't as close as the score suggests, while City saw off Leeds United with a 4-0 thrashing. City lead by one point, but it's a race that could come down to the final day as both teams have been close to unbeatable in the league.
