Newcastle vs Liverpool – 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 James’ Park.
This is Liverpool’s first away trip of the new campaign, and Arne Slot’s side are bracing for a physical battle against Eddie Howe’s men.
Much of the pre-match discussion has centered around Alexander Isak, Liverpool’s top transfer target ahead of deadline day. The Swedish striker, widely seen as Newcastle’s 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 £110m 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 — a victory that ended the Magpies’ 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.
