Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk sees their clash with Newcastle as a must-win.
Van Dijk admits the Reds have stumbled recently at home.
He wrote in his match programme notes: "We also have something to put right because it has been a couple of games since we won at home in the Premier League. There was not too much wrong with our performances against Manchester United and Arsenal and I would argue that there was actually a lot right with them but the sooner we can get back to winning ways here the better.
Our home record is something to be proud of and has been for as long as I have been here, with the exception of the period when we played without fans. The standards we have set are very, very high but, again, that creates a responsibility that we have to live up to.
In simple terms this means winning as many games as possible, especially when we are playing at Anfield.
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."
