Newcastle United vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from St. James' Park
Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Liverpool in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Newcastle United vs Liverpool
Liverpool end Newcastle United's 17-match unbeaten run in the Premier League witha 2-0 victory at St James' Park. The Reds took the lead through Darwin Nunez before Cody Gakpo added a second in the 17th minute to hand the visitors complete control. The day went from bad to worse for Newcastle when Nick Pope was sent off for deliberate handball, ruling him out of the EFL Cup final in the process. Eddie Howe's men battled on and were unlucky as both Allan Saint-Maximin and Dan Burn struck the bar. Liverpool failed to kill off the game in the second half, spurning a host of chances, while Alisson had to deny Callum Wilson at the other end. However, Liverpool closed out the win with a clean sheet, moving six points behind Newcastle with a game in hand.
