Premier League champions Liverpool will be hoping to sign off their incredible season in style when they travel to Newcastle on Sunday afternoon.
Although beating Manchester City’s record of 100 points is beyond them thanks to a poor restart by their lofty standards, Jurgen Klopp’s side can still equal City's record of 32 victories in a single campaign.
Newcastle can only finish 13th or 14th and, with no pressure on them, Steve Bruce will be hoping his side can improve their paltry tally of 37 goals.

Newcastle United vs Liverpool Preview
Liverpool’s form since the restart has been inconsistent at best but they showed their prowess with a 5-3 win over Chelsea last time out, which made it 17 goals seen across their last four games.
It also means the Reds have managed just one clean sheet since winning the title and Newcastle could certainly take advantage of that, with the Magpies having netted 12 times since the restart and drawing just two blanks.
The previous three meetings between the sides have ended with Liverpool winning 3-1, 3-2 and 4-0, and this clash could follow in the footsteps of those results.
