Jurgen Klopp says his Liverpool players are "ambitious like hell" to win the Premier League, backing them to bounce back from their thumping at Barcelona and keep the title race alive against Newcastle.

Liverpool travel to face the St James' Park side managed by former Reds boss Rafael Benitez a point behind EPL leaders Manchester City with two matches to go. Victory tomorrow would see Liverpool go back to the top of the table and ramp up the pressure on City ahead of the reigning champions' home match against Leicester on Monday.
