Newcastle vs Liverpool – Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Arne Slot’s side look to maintain nine-point lead at the top… while Man City hope to end their SEVEN-match winless run, with Chelsea also in action

Enzo Maresca was very complimentary of Southampton at his pre-match press conference yesterday, claiming this would be Chelsea’s toughest test of the season thus far. But then he was equally as courteous before beating League Two Barrow 5-0 in the Carabao Cup, and Armenian side Noah 8-0 in the Conference League.

Over to Russell Martin and his players to prove Maresca was not blowing hot air all over again, I suppose. I’m currently waiting for the team buses to see who is and isn’t here.
