Rob Lee and Andrew Cole scored in their last success at Anfield, a 2-0 victory in April 1994.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The Magpies&#8217; 3-1 win at St James&#8217; Park in the reverse fixture was Alan Pardew&#8217;s first game in charge of Newcastle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Liverpool<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The Reds have taken 27 points from their last 13 matches.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Liverpool are the only Premier League club to have scored in all their Premier League fixtures (16) in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Dirk Kuyt has scored seven goals in the club&#8217;s last six league matches. He will become the seventh Reds players to score in four successive Premier League games if he nets against Newcastle.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 If selected, Sotirios Kyrgiakos and Maxi, last week&#8217;s hat-trick hero, will be making their 50th Liverpool appearances in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Newcastle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The Magpies have won only one of their last seven away league matches, a 2-0 victory at Birmingham during February.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Victory would see Newcastle become the only Premier League side to record wins away to both Merseyside clubs this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Merseyside-born Joey Barton is the only visiting player to have been sent-off twice at Anfield in Premier League history.
