Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool face repeat date with "destiny" after unfulfilled Newcastle hope

The Premier League title race could take yet another dramatic twist this weekend as Liverpool and Manchester City return to top-flight action.

There's just a point separating the two sides heading into the final five matches and a slip up from either team could allow the other to take full control and become the next Champions of England. Both face tricky-looking away trips on Saturday before the home-straight in May.

City head to Leeds United after Liverpool take on in-form Newcastle United at St James' Park in the early kick-off. The Reds have picked up 37 points from a possible 39 available as they look to catch Pep Guardiola 's side and claim a second league triumph in three seasons.

However, the Magpies are not an easy opponent nowadays and Liverpool will have to work hard to claim maximum points from their trip to the North East. Eddie Howe has transformed Newcastle from a relegation-threatened outfit up to fighting towards the top-half of the division.

It isn't the first time the two teams have played each-other during a title race, though. The Reds needed to go and win at Newcastle in the Friday Night Football to keep the pressure on City in the 2018/19 season.

Similarly, there was just a point between the sides and Liverpool had the opportunity to go back to the top - which will also happen if they beat the Magpies at 12:30. In that fixture, the Reds were pegged back twice but still managed to win the game.
