source, Getty Images<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Newcastle United will learn their fate in just under an hour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Eddie Howe\u2019s side will discover whether they will face Qarabag or Monaco when the draw for the Champions League last 16<br \/>\nplay-offs is made at 11am GMT.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But Newcastle have had to quickly refocus on domestic matters following a spirited showing in a 1-1 draw against holders<br \/>\nParis St-Germain midweek.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Understandably so.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Newcastle have another big game on Saturday when they face champions Liverpool on Saturday at Anfield, a venue they have not triumphed at for more than three decades.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Although Newcastle have a rotten record on Merseyside, and<br \/>\nhave won just three away games all season, the visitors will travel with<br \/>\nrenewed confidence following their display in Paris.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The fixture certainly has plenty of subplots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Newcastle, of course, attempted to sign Hugo Ekitike last<br \/>\nsummer before the Frenchman opted to join Liverpool while Alexander Isak, who<br \/>\nmisses the game through injury, went on strike in order to force through a \u00a3125m move<br \/>\nto the champions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Expect Howe to be asked about the pair at his news conference this morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He will also likely be quizzed on whether there is even a slim chance of Newcastle doing any business before the window shuts on Monday, and if captain Bruno Guimaraes could be fit to start after his recent ankle issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Draw intrigue but Newcastle quickly refocus on Anfieldpublished at 10:16 GMT 10:16 GMT Liverpool v Newcastle (Saturday,
