Newcastle 1-1 Liverpool: LIVE score, news and goal updates from St James' Park
Newcastle vs Liverpool: Express Sport brings you LIVE score, news and goal updates from St James Park HT: After a fairly eventful two-minutes of added time, Craig Pawson brings the first half to a close.
Liverpool have done more than enough to be leading at the break, but one moment of terrible defending has cost them dear. 44: Philippe Coutinho lines another shot up but he's totally skewed it into the stands.
Newcastle just need to get in level at the break. 42: The Reds have regained their composure now. Newcastle look happy to absorb the pressure and hit Liverpool on the break. Ridiculously exciting half of football going on here.
39: It's all kicking off now. Newcastle have real belief they can take maximum point out of this, while Liverpool are appealing for a penalty after Dejan Lovren was having his shirt pulled during a corner.
NEWCASTLE 1-1 LIVERPOOL - JOSELU 36: Might be the most farcical goal of the season.
Jonjo Shelvey finds Joselu with a simple ball through the middle, before Joel Matip accidentally knocks it against the striker's shin when making a last-gasp sliding challenge. Simon Mignolet has no choice but to watch it dribble into the net.
Jurgen Klopp with a face like thunder.
Analysis from our reporter Ian Murtagh, at St James' Park. 34: What was that stat about Liverpool having 121 shots in their last six games? It feels like theyve had that many in the last ten minutes here.
Jurgen Klopp must have thought it was going to be one of those afternoons when the Newcastle goal had an amazing escape in the 23ed minute with two efforts hitting the woodwork and another being cleared off the line.
He need not have worried with Coutinho scoring a worldie six minutes later. Smart business turning down that £118m bid from Barcelona. 33: Philippe Coutinho tries his luck again from distance, but this one sails miles over the bar.
I think we can forgive him for that one. 32: Jonjo Shelvey is perhaps guilty for not closing the little Brazilian down quick enough, but it's easier said than done.
Liverpool looking for a second. NEWCASTLE 0-1 LIVERPOOL - COUTINHO 29: Wow, just wow.
I'm running out of superlatives to describe Philippe Coutinho because he just gets better and better. The Brazilian collects a clearance before cutting inside and rifling a 25-yard thunderbolt into the top corner.
Rob Elliot didn't stand a chance. After knocking at the door, Liverpool have finally broken through. 27: Liverpool are totally dominant now. Newcastle are petrified of the counter-attacker, which means Joselu hardly has any support on the rare occasion he's in possession.
26: Urrrrrr, what?! I don't think scientists in a thousands years of research will understand how Liverpool haven't scored! Wijnaldum directs a corner against the post, before Lovren and Mane have efforts cleared off the line.
Analysis from our reporter Ian Murtagh, at St James' Park.
25: When Newcastle faced Tottenham at St James Park on the opening weekend of the season, they were content to sit deep, defend in numbers and rely on the counter-attack - it didnt work with the visitors winning 2-0, both goals coming after Jonjo Shelvey was sent off.
Its a very different Toon set up today with Rafa Benitez side on the front foot, driving forward at every opportunity. Both Matt Ritchie and Shelvey have had efforts on target though Simon Mignolet was not seriously tested with either shot.
Sixteen minutes into the game, Liverpool come alive with Sadio Mane meeting Joe Gomez cross with a meaty volley which crashes into the side-netting. And moments later, it takes two defenders to halt Mo Salahs forceful run.
23: Wasteful from Salah. Sturridge spins his marker and sets Mo Salah free. The winger takes a heavy touch and gifts it back to Newcastle. Sadio Mane was completely unmarked in the area.
20: Sadio Mane volleys Joe Gomez's cross just wide of the goal. Would have been spectacular because that was an impossible angle.
18: Daniel Sturridge weaves his way into a good position but Lascelles manages to get his body in the way. I think it touched the defender's hand but he knew nothing about it.
15: As expected, Liverpool are seeing the majority of possession, but Newcastle are quite content to sit deep and break when possible. Here's an attack now.
Matt Ritchie has space to manoeuvre on the right flank and forces a decent save from Simon Mignolet. Analysis from our reporter Ian Murtagh, at St James' Park.
12: Newcastle fans unfurl a giant banner which stretches from one end of the Gallowgate Stand to the other. Its written in Spanish and has huge personal significance for Rafa Benitez.
It translates as We will follow you everywhere, well always have your back. In spite of the lies, they tell us, well never doubt you.
We are with you. This was the chant Valencia fans chanted to Benitez during his hugely successful stint at the Spanish club before joining Liverpool.
10: Daniel Sturridge tries his luck with a chip from distance, but it soars over. Let's call that a sighter for the lesser-spotted striker.
9: Jonjo Shelvey is looking up for the fight against his former club today. He receives the pass from Atsu, but his bending effort is straight at Mignolet.
6: Squandered! Can't believe Liverpool haven't scored. The Reds break at pace with Salah feeding Mane inside the six-yard box with a beautiful pass.
The midfielder cuts it back for the onrushing Egyptian, but the pass is just beyond him. Should have been 1-0. 3: The stadium is absolutely rocking today. I know it always does here but it's particularly booming today.
Neither side seen much possession with the ball doing most of its work in the stands. NEWCASTLE 0-0 LIVERPOOL 1: We're underway folks! This fixtures has thrown up some absolute classics in the past, fingers crossed it delivers again.
16:29: Minutes applause for Freddy Shepherd who sadly passed away on Monday. 16:28: Jurgen Klopp is doing his usual routine. Staring at the Newcastle players while they are doing their exercises. Doesn't look in the mood to be disappointed today.
TWITTER ROUND-UP Matt: Shelvey and Merino midfield partnership is needed today, that extra spark in midfield going forward will help. Darren: Its about time Daniel Sturridge got a start.
Come on mate show them what you can do! Fents: Shelvey & Manquillo will play the games of their lives today, hopefully Coutinho & the boys are feeling potent. Should be a tough one.
16:25: As you might have expected, Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez has said that playing against his former side will be a special and emotional experience.
The Spaniard was in charge of the Merseyside club for six years from 2004 and guided them to their fifth Champions League title in his debut season.
After spells at Inter Milan, Chelsea, Napoli and Real Madrid, Benitez was brought in to save Newcastle from relegation in March last year.
He did not succeed but helped them back into the top flight immediately and faces his old side to whom he has not lost in two previous meetings. Its a special game for me.
It will be emotional, because I spent so many years there, and have so many good memories. My family still live in Liverpool, so it is my home, Benitez told Newcastles website.
I have a lot of positive, very good relationships with Liverpool fans, (including) the families connected to Hillsborough. There are a lot of connections, and it will be very emotional..
16:20: Here's today's starting XI folks. Quite surprising to see Daniel Sturridge preferred to Roberto Firmino in attack. Newcastle XI: Elliot, Yedlin, Lascelles, Clark, Manquillo, Shelvey, Merino, Ritchie, Perez, Atsu, Joselu. Subs: Murphy, Gayle, Diame, Hayden, Lejeune, Darlow, Jesus Gamez.
Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Gomez, Matip, Lovren, Moreno, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Coutinho, Salah, Sturridge, Mane. Subs: Karius, Milner, Firmino, Klavan, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Can, Solanke. 16:15: Good afternoon folks, welcome to our LIVE coverage of Newcastle vs Liverpool from St James' Park.
I'm sure Reds fans will have enjoyed what they just witnessed at Goodison Park with Burnley running out 1-0 winners against Everton, but can they bag a win of their own today?
