Welcome to our live coverage of Liverpool vs Newcastle United in the Premier League at Anfield. Kick-off is 8pm.
The Reds booked their place in the last 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday with a 6-0 home romp over Qarabag. But questions remain over whether they'll even be in the competition next season, unless they win, given their domestic form.
The defending Premier League champions slipped out of the top four last weekend after the last-gasp 3-2 loss at Bournemouth and they have a number of teams close behind them in the table, including tonight's opponents Newcastle.
So it's a big game then for [Liverpool](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc). And Ian Doyle, Mark Jones and Stephen Killen are at Anfield to bring you all the build-up to kick-off, including team news when it drops at 6.45pm, followed by an in-game commentary stream and the best post-match reaction and analysis.
