Liverpool vs Newcastle United: How to watch on TV, live stream, kick-off time and team news

Newcastle United is set to face Liverpool as they travel to Anfield on Wednesday, August 31 for a midweek Premier League match.

Liverpool is certainly a team to watch after last week’s 9-0 drubbing of Bournemouth, but the Magpies are hoping to end their three-match winless streak with a victory.

The Eddie Howe’s side’s most recent game was a 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers  on Sunday afternoon, thanks to Allan Saint-Maximin’s last-minute equaliser.

However, with Callum Wilson injured and Allan Saint in doubt, it would be difficult for them to face the Reds, who remain unbeaten in 26 home games against Newcastle United since 1994.

The team has also been hampered by the absence of Bruno Guimaraes, who was sidelined during the match against Wolves.

And now, Eddie Howe’s squad are desperately hoping to see the debut of their record signing striker Alexander Isak, who is currently awaiting his work permit.

So, when is the match and will it be televised? Here is everything you need to know.

When is Liverpool vs Newcastle United?

Liverpool vs Newcastle United kicks off at 8pm on Wednesday, August 31.

How did Liverpool fare in their last match?

On Saturday, Liverpool equaled the Premier League’s record for the biggest win, defeating Bournemouth 9-0 at home.

After starting the season with two draws and a loss, Liverpool got off to a fast start against newly-promoted Bournemouth, with Luis Daz and Harvey Elliott both scoring inside six minutes.

Trent Alexander-magnificent Arnold’s long-range strike made it three inside half an hour, before Roberto Firmino and Virgil van Dijk made it five at halftime.

After the break, Chris Mepham’s own goal, Firmino’s second, Fabio Carvalho’s first Liverpool goal, and Daz’s second concluded a goal-filled afternoon for the hosts.

The nine-goal margin of victory has previously been reached three times, once by Manchester United and once by Leicester City.
