Head coach Steve Bruce has been receiving lots of plaudits from fans and the media alike, for helping his side to another comfortable Premier League finish. Despite struggling against the league’s juggernauts, they have stolen important points from clubs below them on the log.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have just ended their 30-year wait for a Premier League title, and that too, in style. Showing ruthlessness all season, they have proven to be heads and shoulders above every other side in the league. They are the newly-crowned champions, and quite rightly so.

Eighteen points clear at the top, the Reds have amassed a staggering 96 points from 37 games so far. With no other commitments elsewhere, Liverpool will be looking to end the season on a high when they take on tricky side Newcastle United at St James’ Park for the final round of PL fixtures this Sunday.

Never really threatened by relegation, Newcastle United are much closer to the top-half of the standings than to the drop-zone. Following a decent run-in this term, the fans will already be fantasizing on another good campaign next time around, perhaps faring slightly better than this.

With their league survival already secured, the Magpies were out to the Falmer Stadium to claim bragging rights from the claws of struggling Brighton. Both sides having little or nothing to play for, we were made to endure a drab game that ultimately ended goalless.

Profligacy was to blame on the night as Brighton managed to hit three shots-on-target, none finding the back of the net. The Magpies, who looked worse off than the opposing number, managed a single effort that was easily kept out by Brighton’s Ryan.

Their Premier League trophy presentation already in the works after their game against Chelsea, Liverpool were determined to prevent the Blues from spoiling the party. A crucial game it was for Lampard’s charges, they struggled to cope with the Reds’ high press.

Threatening to run away with the game at different points in the game, Chelsea managed to remain in it, attempting comebacks at intervals. However, Jurgen Klopp’s men held on to register an emphatic 5-3 victory before being handed the coveted Premier League trophy.

For this fixture, Liverpool are clear favorites for victory. The Reds do not have commitments in any other competition, and will be focusing solely on this game. Also, Klopp has admitted to his side’s dip-in-form since Project Restart, vowing to end their imperious campaign on a winning note.

It also helps that the opposition number Newcastle are scraping through a rough patch where they have remained winless in their last five games on the bounce – three of which ended in defeats. Also being pretty lapse in defense, the Magpies have conceded a whopping ten goals from their last four matches.

Liverpool’s attacking frontline will already be licking their lips at the prospect of exploiting this rather weak defense. With these title-winning players hitting top-gear, there is nothing getting in their way of victory here.
