Newcastle vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates as Salah and Trent benched

LIVE – Updated at 12:39

Liverpool travel to Newcastle hoping to climb above Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table - temporarily at least.

With their title rivals not due to play until later on Saturday, Jurgen Klopp’s side can pile the pressure on as they continue their title pusuit at the business end of the campaign.

There were few signs of weariness in a comfortable midweek Champions League semi-final first leg win over Villarreal, but Newcastle will be hopeful of continuing their own recent good form against a side facing a short turnaround.

The quadruple is still a realistic target for the Reds and victory at St James’ Park would cap a seismic week that has also seen Klopp sign a contract extension until 2026 and talisman Mo Salah named men’s Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers’ Association.

Follow all the action from a crucial game at St James’ Park below:

Newcastle United FC 0 - 0 Liverpool FC

8 mins: Robertson tries to pick Mane out with a lovely through ball inside the left channel, but Dubravka is smartly out to gather ahead of the Liverpool forward.

Newcastle pressing very highly. Alisson and Matip look to play it out from the back and Joelinton almost nips in.

The visitors do work their way out of trouble though and make it all the way to the edge of the Newcastle box. Keita fires a low shot towards the bottom corner and it whistles just wide of the post. It took a deflection, but a goal kick is wrongly given.

6 mins: Robertson sends the free-kick into the box and Krafth gets his head to the ball to spoon it up into the air. It kindly falls for Jota inside the penalty area but his shot is always travelling over the top.

Rather open feel to this game early on.

4 mins: Crossfield
