Can Shearer save the Toons?

Tomorrow's match is a crucial one for Newcastle United. A win will place them in the 18th place with 33 points, only one point away from safety, while leaving Pompey deeply involved in the fight for Premiership survival.On the other hand, a defeat will most probably bring Newcastle’s status as a Premiership side to an end, especially when their next match will be at Anfield, versus high flying Liverpool.
So a question comes to mind – Was Alan Shearer right to join Newcastle? Well, the jury are still out on this, but with not long to go till the end of the season, we’ll know whether Shearer will be a hero or a villain soon enough.
In any case, we see three possible outcomes for Newcastle’s next month:
1. Newcastle manage a win against Portsmouth with a couple of wins over Middlesborough and Fulham (after the Liverpool clash) they secure their top flight status.
2. They lose the game and start getting ready for their away match at Peterborough.
3. The match ends in a draw and Newcastle have no other choice but grabbing a huge away win at Anfield next week.

Key Players

Who's a more crucial part for his team? Van Persie/Adebayor for Arsenal or Gerrard for Liverpool? Tonight's match sees Liverpool and Arsenal battle at Anfield without their key players and it’s hard to decide who will be harmed the most.
A bit more than a month ago, Arsenal were in the 5th place with 8 points separating them from Aston Villa, but then something has changed, (might be Arshavin's new breeze) and the Gunners got into form. Now Arsene Wenger's team is 6 points above Aston Villa and instead of fighting just for the chance to take part in next year’s Champions League qualifying round, all of a sudden they threaten Chelsea's automatic qualifying spot.
On the other side of the pitch we have Liverpool with their fantastic season, still in the title race even though they lost the good form they had a month ago.
With all due respect for both teams and their players, Liverpool without Gerrard is a different team, exactly like Arsenal without Van Persie and Adebayor is. Even though the subs for both teams include players like Lucas, Benayoun, Vela, Bentdner and more, It won’t be the same without both team's key players.
According to BetUknow community, Liverpool will be tonight's winners, share your thoughts here:
