Liverpool vs Newcastle United kick-off time

Premier League - Premier League

Anfield

Liverpool and Newcastle United will kick off on 31 Jan 2026 at 20:00 GMT and 15h00 EST. 

Match preview

Liverpool saw their unconvincing 13-match unbeaten run come to an end when they succumbed to a defeat at Bournemouth in a Premier League clash, but Arne Slot's side bounced back to winning ways against Qarabag in the Champions League. The Reds find themselves placed sixth in the Premier League standings, but they will move back up to fourth place if they secure a win over Newcastle, with Chelsea and Manchester United losing their games.

Meanwhile, Newcastle have won just one of their last five matches, with their victory coming in the Champions League against PSV. The Magpies are placed ninth in the Premier League standings, five points behind fourth-placed Manchester United. A win at Anfield would revive the Eddie Howe-led side's hopes of finishing in the top four.

Injury news & key stats

Liverpool will be without the services of Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, Jeremie Frimpong, Joe Gomez, Stefan Bajcetic, Jayden Danns, and Alexander Isak, but they have been boosted by the availability of Ibrahima Konate and Curtis Jones ahead of this weekend's clash. 

Their visitors, Newcastle, have Fabian Schar, Valentino Livramento (Tino), Joelinton, Emil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles, Jacob Murphy, and Bruno Guimaraes on their injury list, but Dan Burn could make his return from injury against the champions. 

Liverpool have won two of their last three matches against Newcastle, who emerged victorious in the other game, which was last season's Carabao Cup final.

>How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
