Newcastle vs Southampton: Team news

The Magpies will be without Allan Saint-Maximin again as the Frenchman continues to recover from a hamstring problem, while Emil Krafth isn’t fit enough to return.

Alexander Isak, Jacob Murphy and Dan Burn all started on the bench against Everton, so they could come back into the team.

Fabian Schar shook off a knock to feature in midweek and managed 90 minutes, so barring any setback, the Swiss international should feature.

Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse was withdrawn at half time against Bournemouth through illness and is a doubt.

Armel Bella-Kotchap and Romain Perraud have knocks, so they might miss the trip to Tyneside.

Mohammed Salisu, Tino Livramento and Juan Larios are all out.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
