MATCH PREVIEW
Three months ago, Newcastle were banking their £35m cheque after selling Andy Carroll to Liverpool on the final day of the January transfer window; something of a calculated gamble for a newly-promoted side with no ready-made replacement lined up.
We don't know if he'll be fit. For Andy (Carroll) it's a poignant game but if he's not fit, he's not fit. We can't do anything about that
Kenny Dalglish, Liverpool manager
Since then, the Magpies' makeshift strike force have stepped up to the plate and look to have secured their Premier League survival while the club's scouts have trawled the globe looking for Carroll's long-term successor.
Newcastle may have failed to score in five of their 11 Premier League games since the England striker's departure, yet over the course of the season the Magpies have averaged more points without him in their side (1.26 per game) as opposed to with him (1.15).
Whereas most Geordie eyes will be focussed on a potential sighting of their former local hero, the partisan Liverpool followers will only have eyes for one of their own, Jamie Carragher.
If selected, the ever-popular Bootle-born defender will move into joint second place in the Reds' all-time appearance list alongside legends Ray Clemence and Emlyn Hughes, both of whom donned the Liverpool shirt 665 times. The all-time record is held by another local lad, Toxteth-born Ian Callaghan who featured in a phenomenal 857 games for the club.
