NEWCASTLE: Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe spoke of his “respect” for his Liverpool counterpart, Jurgen Klopp, ahead of The Reds’ visit to St James’ Park on Saturday.
The Liverpool boss has stoked the rivalry between the sides with some inflammatory comments about the ownership of the Magpies by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, and the money spent at the club.
The last time the sides met was early in the season, when the Magpies suffered their only defeat of the league campaign so far.
It was a controversial, ill-tempered match after which United were booed off the pitch by the Anfield faithful. Howe, though, does not hold any grudges.
