Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp's decision to make five changes was vindicated as Naby Keita's first-half finish sent Liverpool to the top of the Premier League.

“If it is a positive sign for the boys, then great, but I don’t think this will be the one decisive thing for whatever decision they have to make. “It was difficult, the only plan they had obviously was long balls to our right side… “I thought Joe Gomez was different class and like Milly (James Milner) said we need everyone in the squad. Sandwiched between those two chances was a rare Newcastle effort on target, when Alisson denied his Brazilian compatriot and Newcastle’s man of the moment Bruno Guimaraes with a comfortable save down to his right. Much to Klopp’s frustration, Liverpool continued to be wasteful in front of goal, with Jota firing straight at Dubravka when a calmer head was required. At the other end, Jota drew a spectacular stop from Dubravka with a powerful header that is quickly becoming his signature move.

As the season is coming to end, Jurgen Klopp's squad depth will become vital, as Liverpool continue on their journey to an historic quadruple.

Sadio Mane squandered another promising Liverpool attack in the 60th minute, pushing his effort wide of the goal after a terrific run from Joe Gomez down the right wing. The midfielder finished off a slick move on 19 minutes, which started with a James Milner challenge on Fabian Schar that Newcastle thought was a foul. Despite Liverpool's dominance, Newcastle looked spritely when they had the ball, and came close to finding an equaliser in the 87th minute when Guimaraes found space on the edge of the box and fired a low shot, but Alisson covered it well and Liverpool held on to secure the three points.

In the ultra close Premier League title race, Liverpool rest star players yet deliver a crucial victory over Newcastle United.

In fact, since January 2, the only result that has harmed Liverpool in any way was the 2-2 draw at Manchester City. A crucial second leg match against Villareal in the Champions League semi-final on Tuesday night awaits, where Liverpool are up 2-0 after the first leg win. In fact, it was the first time this Premier League season that Klopp fielded a team without one of Fabinho, Thiago, Alexander-Arnold, or Salah in the starting XI.

"The boys who didn't come on today, you should’ve seen their faces on the bench when the final whistle went. That's the only reason -- the boys buy completely into the situation. The group is exceptional." The two teams drew 2-2 in the league in early April before Liverpool edged their rivals 3-2 in the FA Cup semi-finals -- they could also meet in the final of the Champions League. "That's the only reason why we are where we are," he said. At the other end of the table, managerless Burnley produced a stunning comeback against Watford to win 2-1 and pull five points clear of the relegation zone, condemning Norwich to the drop.

Liverpool kept its quadruple hopes alive with a 1-0 win over Newcastle on Saturday to maintain pressure on Premier League title rival Manchester City.

Miguel Almiron thought he had leveled after rounding goalkeeper Alisson, only for an offside flag to dash his hopes, and it took a fine fingertip save by Dubravka to prevent Jota from increasing the visitors' lead just before halftime. It took the lead after 19 minutes when Jordan Henderson and Diogo Jota combined to feed Keita, who stepped inside before dispatching the ball past the helpless Dubravka. Even with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara, and Mohamed Salah rested from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's decisive Champions League semifinal game at Villarreal, Liverpool could have won more comfortably as Newcastle's hopes of a fifth straight league win wilted in the face of almost constant pressure.

Like their two arrivals over the past two transfer windows are being praised, so must the arrival of the manager’s new deal be. The manager’s emotions were on full display after the final whistle. The Reds take the lead by two points in the title race until Manchester City’s result against Leeds United later this evening.

En seconde période, Liverpool a géré son avance sans se montrer brillant. Quelques minutes plus tard, Sadio Mané aurait pu doubler la mise mais sa froppe molle n'a pas inquiété Martin Dubravka (34e).

"We competed well but lacked the quality that could have got us a goal. It's really difficult to get a feeling for the game." "The only plan they had was the long ball to our right side... We controlled the game in so many ways," added Klopp. "Coming here with five changes and building pretty much a new setup is really difficult, so the performance was absolutely outstanding. "It's the most difficult of circumstances.

Liverpool, lui, aurait pu et même dû l’emporter plus largement. Mais le club de la Mersey s’en contentera et pourra regarder l’esprit libre le match de City en espérant que le club du Yorkshire, qui se bat pour son maintien (16e avec 5 points d’avance sur la zone rouge), arrivera à faire trébucher les hommes de Pep Guardiola. En allant l’emporter à Newcastle (1-0) samedi en ouverture de la 35e journée de Premier League, Liverpool a repris la tête du classement à Manchester City qui se rend à Leeds en fin d’après-midi (18 h 30).

Liverpool are still fighting on three fronts because Jurgen Klopp can make as many changes to his starting XI as he did in the 1-0 win at Newcastle.

Klopp has been able to rely on each and every one of them so far, but he can't control everything and even Liverpool's undefeated run in the Premier League this calendar year may not be enough to win the title. Any failure to win in any competition will be a hammer blow to their hopes of a Quadruple, so every player has to turn up when selected. But while Liverpool's destiny is in their own hands in the Champions League and FA Cup final, where they face Chelsea at Wembley on May 14, they can only hope their best is good enough in the Premier League. For Klopp's team to win a second title in three seasons, they need City to slip up somewhere. But Milly is a role model and he has set standards in a way that have educated all of us." He is very helpful in the dressing room, especially for a manager whose native language isn't English, but he is important on the pitch too and he played a super game today. There is also a strong possibility that they will meet again, six days later, in the Champions League final in Paris; both clubs head into this week's semifinal second legs with aggregate leads against Villarreal (Liverpool lead 2-0) and Real Madrid (City lead 4-3).

Jürgen Klopp sung the praises of his talented Liverpool squad after his gamble to rotate players paid off with a 1-0 win over Newcastle.

We did 100% against a team in top form in a top atmosphere. “In the circumstances it was a top class performance. We weren’t a genuine counter-attacking threat. “We’ve improved in a lot of aspects of our play, but it shows also there’s a gap that we have to bridge to the top teams. “It was incredibly difficult for the boys today, to be honest; we played two and a half days ago,” he said. The group is exceptional, exceptionally talented and really good characters.”

Keita had keeper Martin Dubravka scrambling across his line as his first-time strike flew inches wide of the far post with eight minutes gone as Liverpool increasingly started to dominate. Newcastle was also bidding for a seventh straight win at home and the game kicked off amid a raucous atmosphere that might have increased had Jonjo Shelvey managed to make a better connection with a second-minute shot. Even with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara and Mohamed Salah rested from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday’s decisive Champions League semifinal game at Villarreal, Liverpool could have won more comfortably as Newcastle’s hopes of a fifth straight league win wilted in the face of almost constant pressure.

Liverpool have secured Jurgen Klopp for another two years - and he has now heaped praise on assistant coach Pepijn Lijnders with his future settled too.

Since he came back to us in 2018, it has been a privilege to watch him grow and, for sure, he has a long and successful career ahead of him in football,” he added. Instead, Klopp has now extended his contract by another two years. Klopp’s deal was set to expire in 2024 and the expectation was that he would leave for a sabbatical.

To come through those games without their two star players, the rest of the squad will feel a million dollars, and you've rested your two best players." "I just thought because he's played Salah in every game, the game that he leaves Salah out in, I thought would be a risk because it tells the rest of the players something. "We had it in the Champions League final, where we had two subs come off the bench and win it for us. "It's the first time Jurgen Klopp's left Mo Salah out in what feels like an absolute age, but he must have felt that was a game that he could leave him out in. And so to keep them included to make them feel part of it, get them on the pitch if you can, even it's for 10 or 15 minutes at the end.

Liverpool could be in the market for a right-back in the summer with Fulham keen on acquiring Neco Williams on a permanent basis, and the attacking threat that Denzel Dumfries provides going forward could be the perfect option to support Trent Alexander-Arnold. The 26-year-old Netherlands international contributed to nine goals this season in Serie A from 30 appearances, scoring five times.
