Newcastle 1 - 0 Liverpool LIVE! Premier League match stream, latest score Livescore ( 1-0 )

Newcastle 0 — 0 Liverpool LIVE!

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



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!

Slot explains Alexander-Arnold benching
Slot confirms to Amazon Prime Video that Liverpool are just being mindful of Alexander-Arnold’s fitness tonight with so many games coming up and a shortage of defenders suddenly with Konate, Bradley and Tsimikas all sidelined.

So no fresh setbacks for Trent after that hamstring injury.

Quansah or Gomez at right-back for Liverpool?
The TV coverage appears to suggest that it will be Quansah at right-back for Liverpool tonight, with Gomez keeping his place alongside Van Dijk in the middle with no Konate.

I would have thought they would switch around, so it’ll be interesting to see how Slot plans to line up.

Eddie Howe eager for new signings as he warns against 'staleness'
It’s fair to say that Eddie Howe is desperate for some new faces to revitalise this stalling Newcastle squad in January, having not made a major impactful addition since the summer of 2023.

"I think freshness is important in a squad, I won't sit here and deny that,” he said.

"There needs to be a certain element of trading in and out to keep the group dynamic new.

“A new dynamic and a new team always has to form every season.

"Sometimes the same squad can produce a staleness and a negative product, so I think we're aware of that.

“But it's about what we're able to do rather than, 'I want'. What I want is clear. It's what we're able to do that is the key thing."
