Newcastle vs Liverpool kick off time confirmed by club, and it's an evening match

Newcastle United have confirmed their final home game of the season has reverted back to a May 4.

Liverpool making it into the final four of the Champions League means the match has moved from May 5 – which would have clashed with the second leg of the Reds’ tie with Barcelona.

So the match is back on the Saturday, with Sky Sports and the club confirming the game will kick off at 7.45pm.

In a statement, the club said: “The game had been chosen for live broadcast by Sky Sports and moved to Sunday, 5th May but - following the Reds' qualification for the semi-finals of the Champions League - it has now reverted back to its original date.

"And following discussions with relevant stakeholders, it has been agreed that the game at St. James' Park will kick off at 7.45pm. Ticket details will be announced very shortly."

The visitors are tilting for the title while Newcastle have secured big wins against Spurs and Chelsea on the final home Premier League games of the last two Rafa Benitez top flight campaigns.
