Liverpool youngster Harvey Elliott has been highly thought of ever since arriving at Anfield from Fulham in 2019.

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.

Match Highlights Newcastle were furious a foul had not been given when James Milner challenged Fabian Schar in the build up. Match Highlights

Liverpool has kept its Premier League hopes alive. Naby Keita's first-half goal at St. James' Park was enough to send Liverpool to a 1-0 win over Newcastle.

Newcastle started the second half with greater intensity, but with Bruno Guimaraes and Allan Saint-Maximin largely curtailed, was unable to cause enough problems. 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.

Follow all the action from St James Park as Newcastle host title contenders Liverpool in Premier League action.

2 2 Newcastle are missing Ryan Fraser, Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier but the form of Joelinton and Allan Saint-Maximin should give Liverpool's back four something to think about. Roberto Firmino remains absent though injury but otherwise the German has a full squad to choose from. This season, Liverpool have equalled the club record for wins in a single campaign (including via a penalty shootout), with the 2-0 victory over Villarreal their 43rd of 2021-22. Salah will be a big miss for the visitors today. - defenders - defenders A lovely one-two sends the Guinean in and he keeps his cool to slot past two defenders with Dubravka stranded. And the VAR room says no dice on Newcastle's complaints. Gooooooooooooo..... Nope, the flag is up! And there's the half-time whistle!

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.

Liverpool 4-0 Manchester United - Watch: Liverpool 4-0 Manchester United The Reds have incredible backup players around the pitch apart from one area.

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).

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.

Liverpool have kept 21 clean sheets in the league this season - more than any other side. Klopp's men have picked up 40 points from the last 42 on offer, only dropping points away to City.

Newcastle's midfielder appeared more talented when they played together a decade ago but Henderson his risen higher.

He made nearly twice as many passes as Shelvey over the game at a far higher accuracy, including the swift forward pass to Naby Keïta that eventually led to the only goal. In 2013 the former England cricket captain Mike Atherton wrote a column on the retirement of Mark Ramprakash. It wasn’t hard to detect a slight note of irritation as he discussed how “talented” Ramprakash was perceived to be. Henderson, it hardly needs saying, is the Atherton in this analogy. But which is worth more, a cover drive of such fluency it sends a flutter through the guts of even the most hardened observer, or the ability to face down Allan Donald for hours and occasionally nudge the ball off the pads for four? It was Shelvey who appeared the more talented. At that point, Shelvey was arguably the better prospect.

In the circumstances, it was a top-class performance.” It was an outstanding football game, to be honest. Watford was also on the brink of going straight back down to the Championship after it lost to Burnley 2-1 to become the first team in top-flight history to lose 11 straight home games. We draw, they (Liverpool) will be champions.” We win, we will be champions. Then City won at Leeds 4-0 a few hours later to move back above Liverpool by one point and also move to within one of Liverpool’s goal difference, which is the first tiebreaker in England.

Alisson Becker 7.5 · Joe Gomez 8 · Joel Matip 8 · Virgil Van Dijk 7.5 · Andy Robertson 7.5 · Jordan Henderson 7 · James Milner 8 · Naby Keita 9.

Was unlucky with an overhit through ball to him towards the end. My preference for Jota would be from the left, however, he is more than capable enough to play through the middle. Andy Robertson dominated the left-hand side of the pitch. The amount of times this season the Brazilian has faced one on ones and not been beaten feels like some kind of record, although a good percentage of them are given offside anyway. Cross after cross the home side put in, the both of them together dealt with. The Reds took over Manchester City at the top of the league, even though it was just a few hours.

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.

LONDON (AP) -- It's still advantage Manchester City in the English Premier League title race after the league leader and Liverpool won tricky away matches.

In the circumstances, it was a top-class performance.” It was an outstanding football game, to be honest. Watford was also on the brink of going straight back down to the Championship after it lost to Burnley 2-1 to become the first team in top-flight history to lose 11 straight home games. We draw, they (Liverpool) will be champions.” We win, we will be champions. Then City won at Leeds 4-0 a few hours later to move back above Liverpool by one point and also move to within one of Liverpool’s goal difference, which is the first tiebreaker in England.

Another weekend another pair of wins for the Premier League's best two teams, but who has the edge down the stretch?

The defensive pressure in open play from Leeds United was good until Stuart Dallas went out with an injury during stoppage time of the first half, but it highlights all the ways that City can dominate. Looking at the strength of sides that each face, the advantage would go to Manchester City since Liverpool have to host Spurs but Antonio Conte's side has been far from consistent this season. Liverpool dominated in the match, taking 24 shots for an xG of 1.90 but what's more impressive was their defensive composure against a much improved Newcastle team. So, not only can the teams not slip up in the league but they also need to ensure that they maintain focus on goals stretched across multiple competitions. On Saturday, Liverpool defeated Newcastle United 1-0, in a match that wasn't as close as the score suggests, while City saw off Leeds United with a 4-0 thrashing. City lead by one point, but it's a race that could come down to the final day as both teams have been close to unbeatable in the league.

It seems, for now, Gomez is happy at Liverpool and if that is the case, it would probably rule out any move for Carmo for now at least. The one player who hasn't had as much game time as he would have liked is Joe Gomez and there have been rumours he could move on in the summer. Liverpool are enjoying a brilliant season where they are still chasing the Premier League title, Champions League, and FA Cup to add to the Carabao Cup trophy they won in February.

Former Liverpool player and legend John Barnes has given his verdict on the competition for places in the forward positions in Jurgen Klopp's squad.

“If Firmino is 100% fit, he’s likely to play in the biggest games ahead of Díaz, but he’s just been injured recently. At his age they aren’t going to get £80 million for him – so they shouldn’t sell him.” He’s a valuable member of the team and squad.

And with reports that Roberto Firmino could be looking for a new challenge in the summer, Mbappé, who could currently be signed for a 'free' transfer, would be the marquee signing that boosts Liverpool's status to a new level. Securing one of the most promising defensive midfielders for the future could be vital, and would allow Liverpool to close out games against dangerous sides with a Fabinho-Tchouaméni double pivot. 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.

It's time to hand out some Seahorse Awards after coming close to stopping Liverpool at St James' Park.

We have to work more and try to play with more of the ball. We have to try to work with the space and get in behind, we didn’t do it. But we set our standards very high and next week we have to do much better. We have to work to get to that level. It is difficult to it consistently against Liverpool as they have the quality to produce a counter-attack out of nothing. We competed well but lacked the quality that could have got us a goal. We have work to do. In the heart of defence we were light on bodies. Targett got caught a bit by Naby Keita’s run on his way to scoring, but that was a little blip in an otherwise extraordinary performance—one more—by the wide defender. Targett had enough fuel in him to run parallel to Liverpool’s super-sub forcing him into a missed chance on a breakaway play, and he also broke up a cross that was half a goal had it gone past him and into Salah’s position. and lost by a tiny margin of just one goal against that came on a dubious play in which a controversial action by James Milner could have been called for a foul and swing the game’s outcome. Yes, he got lucky in a couple of plays when Liverpool’s player shot straight at him, but even then he was rock solid and saved the Toon for what could have been an easy three-goal loss.

Liverpool and Man City both have four fixtures left in the Premier League. There is one slight edge that Pep Guardiola was asked about that the Reds can ...

Strictly speaking, of course, Guardiola is right: nothing changes in terms of what Manchester City (or Liverpool) have to do. The smart money is on both sides winning all of their four remaining fixtures. "We have been in this position many times in the past and now in the present, so it is not new," Guardiola added. Liverpool have Tottenham (H), Aston Villa, Southampton (both away) and Wolves (H) left still to play. They have the better squad, but with four games left, that will likely only have a minimal impact, unless a key man like Kevin de Bruyne was to sustain an injury. That means that the two teams have roughly equally difficult remaining fixtures.

On top of all that, there are his qualities on the ball. This was perhaps best exemplified by Lautaro Martínez in the Champions League tie at the San Siro when he unleashed a speculative shot from distance rather than plucking up the courage to engage Van Dijk in a battle. Opponents know that, even though he’s a centre-back, it’s dangerous to give him time on the ball. He’s clocked the fourth-highest top speed in the Liverpool squad in this season’s Champions League and has matched the likes of Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland stride-for-stride when faced with a daunting foot race. He regards their eye movements as the ultimate tell, and is very rarely deceived. Van Dijk, on the other hand, boasts an unparalleled ability to not only read the game but also read his opponent.

This is, without doubt, the best version of Keïta that we have seen at Liverpool. If his improved fitness record this season lasts into the next, he can push for a greater role. It’s nearly the work of two midfielders in one. The same can be said for Curtis Jones, who actually comes closest to Keïta as a rounded midfielder. And then there’s Mateo Kovačić, considerably less impactful in the final third of the pitch. Keïta had a clear sight of goal but he wanted it to be clearer. Keïta certainly seems to tick the boxes.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola provided for his take on the Premier League title race against Liverpool.

Both Manchester City and Liverpool took care of business on Premier League matchday 35. As Guardiola touched on, Manchester City is set to meet Newcastle United, while the Reds will clash with Tottenham for what can be tabbed as the most arduous match of its remaining schedule. In the big picture, the Premier League title race is slated to come down to the final matchday of the season, and the two powerhouse clubs could also then face off in this season’s Champions League final.

The Reds produced a masterclass against City at Wembley and Manchester United in the Premier League, but elsewhere they had to showcase their resilience. City must slip up if Liverpool are to win the league, and West Ham away looks like the best hope. But the draw against City kept Liverpool in the fight when they had twice trailed, and the 3-3 scoreline against Benfica ultimately mattered little. And the same can be said for Trent Alexander-Arnold, with Klopp clearly confident in Joe Gomez as an alternate right-back. Victory took Liverpool two points clear at the top of the table. It was 1-0 away from home, but more than that, it was a lunchtime kick-off off the back of a Wednesday-night Champions League tie.
