Liverpool will hope to carry momentum from European progression into the Premier League as they play host to Newcastle United.

The Reds are on a barren run of five league games without a win, with their stoppage-time defeat at Bournemouth last weekend following four successive draws.

Arne Slot’s men have, however, found solace in the Champions League and sealed qualification to the last 16 by thrashing Qarabag 6-0 on Wednesday, achieving what Newcastle couldn’t as the Magpies were forced to settle for the knockout play-offs with a draw at Paris Saint-Germain.

Newcastle, who succumbed to a 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa in their last league outing, will hope to pile the pressure back on Slot at Anfield as Eddie Howe goes all out for revenge, with teenager Rio Ngumoha’s 100th-minute winner from the reverse fixture still fresh in Geordie minds.

When is Liverpool vs Newcastle?

Liverpool’s clash with Newcastle kicks off at 8pm GMT on Saturday 31 January at Anfield.

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the UK can watch the game live on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate, with coverage starting at 7pm. Subscribers can also watch the match on discovery+.

Team news

Liverpool’s defensive injury crisis was worsened further on Wednesday as Jeremie Frimpong limped off with a hamstring problem just four minutes into the Qarabag contest. Slot has already ruled him out, while Joe Gomez is also unlikely to return from injury. Ibrahima Konate has been on compassionate leave and his return remains unclear.

Newcastle will be without Joelinton due to a groin problem but welcomed back countryman Bruno Guimaraes for the PSG clash. Tino Livramento, Emil Krafth and Fabian Schar remain sidelined.
