Newcastle vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League latest score and updates as Isak smashes in long-range goal

‘Maybe Mo knows more about Manchester City’s 115 charges’ – Arne Slot after Salah’s last game comments

Newcastle United host Liverpool in the Premier League on Wednesday night, with the league leaders looking to maintain their position at the top of the table.

Arne Slot’s men defeated Manchester City 2-0 on Sunday to move nine points clear of their closest rivals, Arsenal, and can get a firmer grip on their position with a victory at St. James’ Park.

Meanwhile, Newcastle conceded a last-minute equaliser to draw against Crystal Palace and continue a disappointing return to action since the international break.

Eddie Howe’s men sit 11th after the weekend’s results, and though a win at this point isn’t vital in their chase for top four, another loss this evening would be a serious dent in their hopes ahead of a busy winter period.

HALF-TIME! Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

The corner is cleared and Andy Madley brings the first half to an end on Tyneside.

Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

Arne Slot seemed to be telling his side just to calm down and play out the rest of the half, so not a lot has happened. Newcastle do win a corner though, after Gordon’s cross is blocked by Quansah, and this’ll be the last action of the half.

Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

Gravenberch is booked now, for dragging back Joelinton, a couple of minutes after Quansah was also given a yellow.

There’ll be three minutes of added time here.

Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

It’s still Newcastle applying all the pressure, though they aren’t creating a lot. A couple of crosses have been easily dealt with by the away defence.

Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

The hosts have been the more threatening since they scored, and they win a corner shortly after Murphy went close from distance, but Schar is eventually flagged for offside.

Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

CLOSE! Isak hits a long pass into space and Gordon nips in to win the ball off Gomez. He races goalwards and is one-v-one with Kelleher, but he can only direct his shot straight at him.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

GOAL! The hosts are ahead, and what an effort it is.

Guimaraes threads a ball to Isak, who is one-v-one with van Dijk outside the area. He opts not to take the Dutchman on, instead rifling a shot on target fromm just outside the area. There’s so much power on it and it seems to catch Kelleher off guard as it flies into the top of the net!

Newcastle 0-0 Liverpool

Half a chance for the hosts as Isak threads a pass into the path of Hall, but the left-back can’t get clean contact on a shot as Gomez does well to get a foot to it.

Newcastle 0-0 Liverpool

Creating chances, running at defenders, Alexander Isak is troubling Liverpool rather more than Erling Haaland did. Jacob Murphy hit the post after Isak, who is showing few signs of the injury that forced him off against Crystal Palace.

Mac Allister’s booking, meanwhile, rules him out of the Merseyside derby and presumably means a midfield trio of Gravenberch, Jones and Szoboszlai at Goodison Park.
