Newcastle United vs Liverpool, Live Premier League score: Philippe Coutinho scored for Liverpool in the first-half.

There was a time when a match between Liverpool and Newcastle United would be one that decides a Champions League spot. There was also a time when Newcastle were expected to beat Liverpool when the match was being played at St. James’ park. Times have changed, Liverpool are bungling around in the Premier League Big six, winning some big games and losing some more, while Newcastle have fallen down the pecking order and are hoping for a light on the horizon.

One thing that is common between the two sides, though, is the presence of Rafa Benitez. For Liverpool, he was the architect of the miracle of Istanbul, when Liverpool beat the mighty AC Milan to win the Champions League. For Newcastle he is their manager, who stuck with them in the Championship and has brought himself and the club back where they belong.
