The final match of Gameweek 32 arrives this evening as Liverpool entertain struggling Newcastle at Anfield. Brendan Rodgers’ side are reeling from back-to-back losses against United and Arsenal have all but ended their Champions League hopes, though the Reds will be looking to build on their midweek cup win at Blackburn.
Philippe Coutinho will be hoping to add to his Ewood Park winner and improve upon a run which has harvested a single assist in the last four Gameweeks. Jordan Henderson has struck in four of the last five league fixtures and is the Merseysiders’ form man as Fantasy managers are afforded the chance to scout their assets ahead of double Gameweek 34. Elsewhere for the home side, Raheem Sterling will be looking to return to form against a defence with just two shut-outs in the last 19 Gameweeks – he seems poised to start up front after Daniel Sturridge was ruled out with yet another injury.
John Carver’s side arrive on the back of a four-match losing streak that has seen them score a single goal. With Papiss Cisse still suspended, the Magpies look likely to struggle again and with injuries hitting hard at the back, there’s been little on offer to grab our attentions on Tyneside. With four home fixtures in the final six, in addition to trips to Leicester and QPR, the upcoming schedule suggests Carver’s men could bring in the points if they can start performing.
