Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of Newcastle versus Liverpool, ninth versus eighth, and one of the Premier League’s most iconic fixtures. Team news is coming up.

FT: Newcastle 1-1 Liverpool. That's it, honours even and another frustrating result for Liverpool, although given that late Diame chance it could have been worse.

A Newcastle corner isn't deal with at all and the ball falls for Diame, eight yards out a dead centre in front of goal, but his scuffed shot is deflected straight into Mignolet's arms.

Diame comes on to waste a little more time as we enter three added minutes.

Moreno does really well to get on the end of what looks like a lost cause a hook a cross into the box, which Oxlade-Chamberlain throws himself at, but his header goes well over.

Perez sees Mignolet off his line and goes for an ambitious lob bet gets it all wrong.

Solanke meets a Coutinho cross at the top of the box, looking to direct it into the near post, but it's a difficult chance and he diverts the ball wide.

Salah off, Oxlade-Chamberlain on.

Oxlade-Chamberlain stripping off, as the action on the pitch continues to go nowhere.

Newcastle scorer Joselu, who in truth has done very little beyond that moment, goes off and Gayle comes on in his place.

Lovren gets on the end of deep corner, sending a looping header goalwards, and Shelvey is in the right place to clear it off the line.

And Newcastle make a change too, sending Hayden on for Merino.

Mane departs too, having been quiet, for Firmino.

No St James' goal for Sturridge - he's off for Solanke.

Perez badly overhits a cross, which just about sums up his day.

Klopp readying a double change - Solanke and Firmino will be coming on.

Perez down after colliding with Henderson's elbow, so he claims, but replays show whatever contact there was was minimal.

Sturridge looks to be through on goal again, but this time it's the linesman's flag that denies him.

Salah dinks a ball over the Newcastle defence for Sturridge, but Elliots is off his line in a flash and gets there just before the striker.

Panic in the Liverpool box as Ritchie keeps a hopeful cross alive and nobody is quite sure hat to do with it, but that includes forwards and the visitors survive.
