Newcastle will not relish their task on Sunday when they come up against a resurgent Liverpool at St James' Park in a match which could decide Steve McClaren's future as the Magpies' boss.

The biggest threat to the home side will come in the small but powerful form of Daniel Sturridge, who looks likely to continue to increase his time on the pitch after scoring twice in an hour against Southampton in the Capital One Cup in midweek.
