Liverpool have won six of their last seven Premier League games against Newcastle.
Xabi Alonso's four goals this season for the Reds have all come away from Anfield.
Newcastle won their first Premier League game at Anfield (2-0 in April 1994) but have not won any of the subsequent 14, losing 12 of them.
The Reds have scored 63 goals against Newcastle, more than they have against any other team in the Premier League history.
Liverpool's 12 home wins against Newcastle is more than the Reds have managed against any other side in the Premier League.
Ala Smith has played 305 minutes this season without winning a foul, more than any other player in the Premier League.
Fernando Torres has scored a Premier League goal every 85 minutes on average at Anfield in his Liverpool career.
Only six sides in 20-team Premier League history have avoided relegation after being in the drop zone with four games to go.
All of those sides have collected at least eight points in their last four matches.
Liverpool have not had a man sent off this season but have seen nine opposition players sent off.

Sunderland vs Everton
Sunday May 3, 2009 Kick off: 16:00 Stadium of Light
Sunderland boss Ricky Sbragia has hit back at the perceived recent slights of his predecessor Roy Keane by advising the Irishman to focus on his own job at Ipswich.
Keane has spoken about his former club's relegation plight and confidence problems since taking over from Jim Magilton at Portman Road last month, and Sbragia - who worked for the former Manchester United captain as a coach before replacing him - appears to have taken umbrage.
"It just seems that if he wants a bit of publicity, he says something - but why not talk about Ipswich? Why is he always talking about Sunderland?" said the Scot.
"Roy left this club. He's not here and we don't talk about him, but for some reason he keeps coming back. I don't know why. Maybe he still thinks he's the manager.
"Maybe he's just bored and has nothing to do, so he thinks, 'I'll have a go at Sunderland'. I think he should just really concentrate on Ipswich. He's back in football. He should enjoy it."
Sbragia also appeared to hint at an untold story behind Keane's departure from the Stadium of Light hot seat earlier this season.
