SunSport looks at the seven fixtures which have produced the most amount of goals.
Liverpool vs Newcastle: 138 goals in 44 games
OF COURSE it is. The pair played out arguably the greatest Premier League game ever in 1996, sharing seven goals.
And they repeated the trick the following season with Liverpool beating their North-East rivals 4-3 again.
There was more at stake when they were both regularly challenging for the title in the 1990s — but it will always be one of the most anticipated fixtures on the calendar.
The pair have never shared a 0-0 draw only four times has there been just the one goal.
Newcastle vs Tottenham: 138 in 44
THIS is remarkable, given the Toon missed two entire seasons in the top flight.

They, too, have never shared a 0-0 draw.
Liverpool vs Tottenham: 138 in 49
I THINK we know who the most entertaining teams in the Premier League have been.
Liverpool Tottenham, who have met in every season — including this one —almost always produce plenty of goals.
There have been 5-0s, 6-2s and 3-3s.
And, barring a 0-0 draw at Anfield later in the season, this will shoot into first place outright.
