The Magpies rose to fourth in the table after beating Stoke City at St. James’ Park on Saturday, leapfrogging Jürgen Klopp’s Reds, who drew 1-1 at home to Burnley.

Clashes between Newcastle and Liverpool rarely fail to entertain. Indeed, in the Premier League era, there has never been a 0-0 draw between the two sides.

The game – which will be shown live on Sky Sports – gets underway at 4.30pm, and will be United’s last before the next international break.
