Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of Newcastle v Liverpool on the final afternoon of the 2019-20 Premier league season. Jurgen Klopp’s champions will be hoping the hangovers from their trophy lift celebrations on Wednesday have faded as they bid to sign off a historic campaign with a win that would see them set a new club record in terms of overall points amassed. Mid-table Newcastle can’t finish higher than 13th, but would love to end on a positive note by beating the champions, as they continue to await the outcome of a proposed takeover of the club. Kick off 16:00 BST.

Williams is down for the champions. He has cramp.
Newcastle have offered little going forward in this half, but there's still time to rescue it while Liverpool fail to make the most of openings for a third.
Salah is looking like a man possessed as he tries to snare that one goal to become the first Liverpool player since Roger Hunt in 1965-66 and only the 4th in Reds history to register 20 league goals in 3 successive seasons.
Liverpool are on course to equal Manchester City's top-flight record of 32 wins in a season.
Liverpool pushing hard for a third.
