Liverpool start 2024 atop the Premier League standings, and they can increase their lead with a victory against visiting Newcastle on New Year's Day.
The Reds lead a title race that sees the next four teams all within a single result of drawing level with Jurgen Klopp's side.
With such a tightly packed group at the top of the table, every match takes on heightened importance. This is also true of Monday's clash, which features a Magpies side that expected to be in among the frontrunners.
Instead, Newcastle have struggled and come into this match having lost four of their last five league games. They sit ninth and well out of the title race, but a good start to the year could help reignite their hopes.
Regardless, Liverpool acknowledge that the title is not won at the turn of the calendar, and as such there's much work to be done, starting with Monday's contest.
“As things stand, we have a lot to look forward to as players and supporters, but at the same time we know that the hard work is only just beginning so let’s see what we can do together and what the New Year might bring,” Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk wrote in the matchday programme.
