With a chance to break into the top four up for grabs, Thomas Tuchel’s men will be on the lookout for the top four and claim fourth place by dethroning Liverpool, which suffered a 1-3 defeat to Leicester last week in their previous Premier League appearance. The Blues of London will try to replicate a similar score from their previous encounter, while Steve Bruce will try to keep the London outfit from pulling a double against the Magpies.
