Newcastle United v Liverpool: match preview | Football

Steve McClaren could probably do without facing Jürgen Klopp’s renascent Liverpool in front of live television cameras. After presiding over only two league wins all season, Newcastle’s manager acknowledges he is in the dark about his precarious looking future on Tyneside and is unlikely to be cheered by memories of the last time he met Klopp. In 2011 a Bundesliga win for the German’s Dortmund side at McClaren’s Wolfsburg proved the Englishman’s penultimate game in charge before his sacking.
