The two youngest squads in the Premier League go head to head and last weekend it was Newcastle, second only to Liverpool in the callowness stakes, whose inexperience told. They capitulated late on to draw at Bournemouth, the seventh time they have not seen out a lead this term, and Rafa Benítez admitted afterwards that a team slightly longer in the tooth may not have allowed their relegation rivals back in. But they do, at least, have plenty of Anfield knowledge in their ranks and despite the disparity in ability between the two teams it would not be a seismic shock if Benítez was the man to inflict Liverpool’s first home league defeat of the season. Last time he took a side to Anfield, in April 2016, Newcastle turned a 2-0 deficit around to clinch an improbable draw; it may be tougher now but there are a few in his ranks with points to prove. One of them is Jonjo Shelvey, who never quite made the grade at Liverpool and also missed a huge chance to make the game safe at the Vitality Stadium. Shelvey was also criticised for lax defending as Bournemouth pulled level; can he make a few people eat their words on Saturday?
