Where to watch Newcastle vs. Liverpool live stream, TV channel, start time for Premier League match

Newcastle and Liverpool have combined in some of the Premier League's most historically memorable clashes.

But it has been a close season of upheaval on both Tyneside and Merseyside ahead of Sunday's standout opening weekend clash at St James' Park.

Andoni Iraola replaced Arne Slot after the Dutchman was relieved of his duties at Liverpool at the end of last season, while Matthias Jaissle has the tall task of following Eddie Howe as Newcastle boss.

The Magpies have lost key men Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes in this transfer window, but a new-look team can be sure of raucous backing from the home faithful. Alexander Isak, on his first return to the north east with Liverpool, will likely face a brutal reception, raising the temperature further.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
