Newcastle United v Liverpool: What TV channel it is on, injury news from Eddie Howe and Arne Slot and how to stream online.
Newcastle United entertain Liverpool at St James’ Park tonight searching for their first Premier League win over the Reds in almost a decade. December 2015 was the last time the Magpies secured three points against the red half of Merseyside, although they were victorious in their last meeting at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final in March.
A spicy encounter between two clubs that have been involved in the transfer saga of the summer is expected tonight as a sold-out St James’ Park roar on their team for the first time this season. A goalless draw at Villa Park was a solid way to start the campaign - but a win against Liverpool would be the perfect way for them to springboard their season.

Newcastle United v Liverpool team news
Alexander Isak won’t feature for the Magpies tonight amid intense speculation over his future at the club. Isak hasn’t kicked a ball for Newcastle United since May and Howe confirmed on Friday that the Swedish international remains unavailable for selection.
“There's been no change. He won't be part of the squad,” Howe said.
“My wish is that he'd be playing on Monday night for us but he won't.
“I haven't seen him this week. I saw him last week and when I see him we speak as normal. There's no issues between us but it's a difficult situation for both sides and far from ideal for both parties.
“He's training later on detached from the group and then I'm in meetings. I'm sure we'll catch up at some stage.”
Elsewhere, Lewis Hall and Sven Botman remain doubts as they continue their respective recoveries from injury. Joe Willock is back in training and could feature whilst new signing Jacob Ramsey is available for selection.
Liverpool will be without Jeremie Frimpong after he suffered a hamstring injury against Bournemouth last time out. Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez are doubts.
