Reds hoping to maintain or extend their commanding lead at the summit in a fixture they have dominated

Newcastle vs Liverpool LIVE!

The Premier League leaders are out to build on their impressive lead at the top as they travel to St James’ Park tonight. Dominant Liverpool head to Tyneside on the back of seven wins in a row across all competitions that includes back-to-back 2-0 successes over Real Madrid and Manchester City, sitting pretty at the summit both domestically and in the Champions League after an astonishing start to life under Arne Slot.

Their advantage over closest challengers Arsenal and Chelsea is currently nine points and could improve this evening if they ensure another positive result and their rivals slip up. Newcastle, by contrast, have won only two of their last nine in the league and sit down in 11th place after following a shock home defeat by West Ham by conceding a last-gasp equaliser at Crystal Palace amid more pressure facing Eddie Howe.

The omens are very bad indeed for the hosts tonight, with Newcastle having lost all of their last six games against Liverpool. Alexander Isak is at least fit as Jacob Murphy comes in, while Slot makes three changes including dropping Trent Alexander-Arnold to the bench. Follow Newcastle vs Liverpool live below!

Half-time

A very impressive first half from Newcastle, who deservedly lead at the break after Isak’s belter and really should be further ahead after Gordon’s huge miss.

Liverpool not really at the races so far, sluggish and flat with issues in defence.

Slot may look to change things for the second half.
