Liverpool vs Newcastle - LIVE!
With Premier League fixtures falling victim to Covid outbreaks across the country, it is a relief that tonight’s match between Liverpool and Newcastle will go ahead.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are in terrific form and are hoping to beat the struggling Magpies in order to close the gap to leaders Manchester City to a single point heading into Christmas.
City produced a statement performance on Tuesday night when thumping Leeds 7-0 and Liverpool will likely have designs on a similar outcome against Eddie Howe’s side, who saw the optimism of their first win of the season, against Burnley, quickly evaporate as they were hammered 4-0 by Leicester at the weekend.
The Toon are currently three points adrift of safety and would appear to be in damage limitation mode before moving for reinforcements when the transfer window opens in a fortnight’s time.
