Collymore or Fowler? – Liverpool’s five best home wins against Newcastle

Liverpool and Newcastle have a long history stretching back to 1893.

Fast forwarding a century to the early years of the Premier League, the two sides had some famous tussles.

Newcastle won four of the first six meetings after the formation of England’s top-tier in 1992, but what followed was an unbeaten streak of over four years for the Reds.

In recent times, Newcastle have been handcuffed to unpopular owner Mike Ashley, getting relegated twice under his ownership.

Steve Bruce is now in charge and his side have picked up just four points from their opening four league games this season, admittedly clinching an impressive shock win away at Tottenham.

The Reds are looking for their fifth consecutive win to start the season – another three points against the Magpies on Saturday will see them stay at the top of the Premier League.

Despite the current gulf in class between the two sides, and the relative ease in which Liverpool have dispatched of Newcastle in recent years, the fixture still elicits a certain emotion in supporters who remember the battles of the 1990’s.

So what is Liverpool’s best Premier League win over Newcastle at Anfield?

Here’s how we rank them.
