Liverpool take on Newcastle United at Anfield in the Premier League and here's how you can watch the game.
Liverpool welcome Newcastle United to Anfield in their fifth Premier League game of the 2022-23 season.
Jurgen Klopp's team have endured a lukewarm start to the season so far. The Reds not only failed to win their first three games but also suffered a defeat at the hands of rivals Manchester United. However, the Reds bounced back with a 9-0 win against Bournemouth last time out and will hope to add more wins in the upcoming games.
Newcastle United's season has been a mixed bag so far. The Magpies started with a 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest and have followed that up with three draws in four matches. Allan Saint-Maximin's late goal helped Eddie Howe's team pick up a point against Wolves in their last Premier League game.

Team News
Liverpool: Liverpool's injury list remains fairly lengthy going into their home game against Newcastle United.
Diogo Jota, Joel Matip, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ibrahima Konate, Calvin Ramsay, Curtis Jones, Thiago Alacantara and Naby Keita all remained sidelined. Jurgen Klopp will also be without the services of summer recruit Darwin Nunez who is serving a three-match ban.
The manager has confirmed that Jota, Thiago, and Ramsay, although unavailable against Newcastle United, are close to a return.
Newcastle United: Eddie Howe will be hoping to give new signing Alexander Isak his first start for Newcastle United following his £59m move from Real Sociedad. The striker is waiting on a work permit before being able to make his debut.
While Isak's inclusion would be a boost for the team, the Magpies boss does have injury concerns in the squad. The impressive Allan Saint-Maximin is a doubt for the game along with key midfielder Bruno Guimarães. Jonjo Shelvey and Emil Krafth are both ruled out due to injury.
Head to Head
- Liverpool are unbeaten in 26 Premier League home games against Newcastle (W21, D5) since a 2-0 loss at Anfield in April 1994. The Reds have scored in all 26 of these matches.
- The Magpies beat the Reds 2-0 at St James' Park in December 2015 but are winless in the subsequent 11 league fixtures (D4, L7).
- Liverpool have scored 109 Premier League goals versus Newcastle, more than against any other opponent.
Prediction: There is a possibility we could see their new signing, Alexander Isak start. You know Newcastle will give it a go with how Eddie Howe plays but I think Liverpool will carry on at home and I think they will have too much. Liverpool 4 - 0 Newcastle
