Blog on the Tyne at the Liverpool match
I'll be bringing you live coverage from the Toon's game against Liverpool as the Newcastle players face another uphill battle to get any more points.
United's draw against Portsmouth on Monday at least brought us a little bit closer to safety, but we desperately need to move up the table and a trip to Merseyside is the last place we wanted to go.
The Toon were taken apart by Liverpool in the reverse fixture at St James's Park earlier this season and eventually went down 5-1, despite Shay Given being man of the match that day.
That scoreline and the embarrassing nature of the defeat convinced him his future lay elsewhere and he swiftly joined Man City in the January transfer window.
So a decent performance is needed to make sure we don't get turned over again by very confident Liverpool team.
Blog on the Tyne will be bringing you the action from the North West and all the colour as the Toon Army try to lift the side to an unlikely result.
I'll also be taking your questions and comments about the match and the relegation run-in.

Well, the result was no more than I expected, but what a way to go. Barton's a bloody disgrace. He shouldn't wear the shirt again. What a way to repay Shearer's loyalty to him. Not passionate - just thick and a thug to boot.
