LIVE – Liverpool 2-0 Newcastle: Szoboszlai and Mac Allister put Reds in commanding position

Liverpool host Newcastle tonight but will do so without the presence of Arne Slot, or his assistant Sipke Hulshoff, on the touchline.

Both men have been handed two-match touchline bans following their red cards in the aftermath of the fiery Merseyside derby at Everton.

A win tonight could move Liverpool 14 points clear at the summit and closer to the title.

Newcastle head into the game in sixth after a run of two wins in their last five league games.
