'Imagine that': Harry Redknapp leans heavily on nostalgia as he predicts who will win tonight - Liverpool or Newcastle United
Newcastle United take on Liverpool at Anfield tonight. It's a stupid 8 pm kick-off live on TNT Sports.
Fans of a certain age will never forget the ding-dong battles these two teams used to have in the 90's under Kevin Keegan.
Indeed, those games are the primary reason this fixture is almost always selected for live broadcast, as they always seem to deliver drama.
Liverpool often gets the better of things, but for the neutral, they're almost always guaranteed entertainment. (If I've just put the kiss of death on tonight's game, I'm sorry.)
Harry Redknapp is hoping for some 90's magic tonight
Even Harry Redknapp has got all twinkly-eyed thinking of fixtures past as he has given his score prediction for BetVictor (via The Mag).
“It has been a strange season for Newcastle, but they played well in Paris and on another night, might have even stolen all three points.
"I say it every time this fixture comes up, it’s hard for me not to think about those classic games from back in the day. Liverpool looked much better during the week but let’s face it, it was hardly a test for them. Maybe I’m too nostalgic but I’m going for another 4-3. Imagine that!”
We're praying to the football gods - give us this one
We hope the game has that level of spark and entertainment, but it would be nice if, for once, it went 3-4. Let us win at Anfield, please.
Anfield, The Etihad and for some reason, the Vitality Stadium are three curses that we need to break and we can do two of those within the next week.
We're not asking for much, are we?
