Mid-range) with a 6-2 win over Everton and Burnley 3-1, taking advantage of Chelsea's home defeat against Leicester City. Liverpool appears to be a strong contender to continue his winning streak and bring to eight, given modest results and the fight for Newcastle's survival under former Spanish coach Rafael Benitez, who failed during his 2004 campaign -2004.
