Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the Premier League clash between Liverpool and Newcastle at Anfield. Kick off 8pm GMT.

HOLD THE PHONE! Jarrad Branthwaite has levelled for Everton at Chelsea.

LATEST: Chelsea 1-0 Everton.

As it stands, it will be as you were in the top 3 with Chelsea and Liverpool looking set to follow up City's win on Tuesday.

CLOSE! Newcastle remind the home side that they are still very much in this game as Murphy curves two yards wide from just outside the area.

Alexander Arnold whips the resulting free kick to the far post. Mane meets it with a header back across goal towards Jota, but Dubravka reads it well and plucks it out of the air.

The Ox surges from deep as Liverpool break at speed. Fraser chases back and trips the Reds midfielder 40 yards from goal. That will be a yellow card.

DID YOU KNOW? Klopp could notch up his 150th league win as Liverpool manager. Should he do so in this game he will reach the landmark 12 matches fewer than any other Reds boss (Kenny Dalglish in 2011).

Liverpool have so far struggled to find the tempo of the first period.

The Ox bursts into the Magpies area and tumbles under an awkward challenge from Lascelles. VAR checks... nothing doing for the home side.

STAT: Liverpool are one victory short of becoming the first team to win 2,000 top-flight matches.

KICK OFF! Liverpool get us back underway.

HT: Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle.

Joelinton booked.

Two minutes added.

Thiago angles a sublime, clipped pass in-behind for the run of Salah from the right, but the Egyptian can't quite stretch enough to collect it.

At times, Newcastle have looked on the verge of collapsing under the constant, suffocating pressure from the hosts. Howe will be desperate to get his players in at the interval just the one behind.

VIDEO: Salah puts Liverpool in front.

MO MISSES! The Ox volleys a sublime pass over the top for Salah who charges in on Dubravka but rolls the ball wide of the far post.
