“Whoever scores the first goal will win” – The view from Newcastle ahead of Sunday’s clash


 28 September 2017

Newcastle supporter Alex Hurst is not expecting his side to get much out of Sunday’s clash with Liverpool, with bad luck a key reason for that.

The Reds and the Magpies do battle at St James’ Park this weekend, with both sides keen to go out on a high before the international break.

Liverpool beat Leicester City 3-2 in their last Premier League outing, but Newcastle lost 1-0 at fellow newly-promoted side Brighton.

Rafa Benitez will be keen to remain unbeaten against his former club this weekend, and it could be a tight affair between two contrasting teams.

Ahead of the match, we spoke to Alex from True Faith fanzine (@tfMUFCfanzine) about Benitez, Mike Ashley and how he thinks the match will pan out.
