Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of Newcastle v Liverpool on the final afternoon of the 2019-20 Premier league season. Jurgen Klopp’s champions will be hoping the hangovers from their trophy lift celebrations on Wednesday have faded as they bid to sign off a historic campaign with a win that would see them set a new club record in terms of overall points amassed. Mid-table Newcastle can’t finish higher than 13th, but would love to end on a positive note by beating the champions, as they continue to await the outcome of a proposed takeover of the club. Kick off 16:00 BST.
