Newcastle vs Liverpool โ Premier League Clash, Live Updates and Score
A major Premier League fixture takes place tonight as Newcastle host Liverpool in what promises to be a fiery contest at St Jamesโ Park.
This is Liverpoolโs first away trip of the new campaign, and Arne Slotโs side are bracing for a physical battle against Eddie Howeโs men.
Much of the pre-match discussion has centered around Alexander Isak, Liverpoolโs top transfer target ahead of deadline day. The Swedish striker, widely seen as Newcastleโs best player in a generation, is absent tonight as he continues his strike in an effort to force through what he claims was a promised summer move.
Liverpool have already seen a ยฃ110m bid rejected, with another offer expected before the window closes next week. For now, though, Newcastle will look to prove they can cope without their talisman, just five months on from their Carabao Cup triumph over Liverpool โ a victory that ended the Magpiesโ 70-year wait for silverware.
How to watch:
The match will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. Coverage of Monday Night Football begins at 6:30pm BST, with kick-off at 8pm.
