MATCH REPORT!

FT: Liverpool 3-1 Newcastle. Jota, Salah and Alexander Arnold keep the Reds within a point of Man City after Shelvey's early opener had put the struggling Magpies in front.

Four minutes added.

LIVERPOOL CHANGE: Milner on for Thiago.

GOAL! Take a bow Trent Alexander Arnold. The right back seals the points with a rasping 25-yard strike into the top corner.

NEWCASTLE CHANGE: Willock on for Fraser.

Hayden booked.

CLOSE! Keita takes aim from distance but can't get past Dubravka. The Newcastle stopper has had a fine game tonight.

AS IT STANDS: City 41 pts, Liverpool 40, Chelsea 37 pts.

RESULT: Chelsea 1-1 Everton. The Londoners drop points in their pursuit of City at the top.

SAVE! Mane almost latches on to an error but can't slot his shot beyond Dubravka. Liverpool come again and Jota's snap shot is blocked!

NEWCASTLE CHANGE: Saint-Maximin off, Wilson on.

LIVERPOOL CHANGE: Keita on for the Ox.

LIVERPOOL CHANGE: Salah off, Firmino on.

Salah turns on the right side of the area. He looks to curls a shot towards the far corner but can't make it count this time.

CLOSE! Shelvey clips a free kick over the wall but inches past Alisson's right-hand upright.

Free kick to Newcastle just left of centre 25 yards from goal. Henderson is booked for tripping Fraser.

There's no doubt Liverpool have been a shadow of the side that looked set to pull well clear in that first half. Newcastle have real hope of snatching something as we head into the final 20 minutes.

Salah and Oxlade-Chamberlain combine down the right but the latter sees a cross-shot float harmlessly over the bar.

NEWCASTLE PENALTY APPEAL! Alexander Arnold slides in to try and stop Fraser as he looks to get on the end of a ball from the right. The referee says no, but VAR is more interested...

But eventually the decision is no spot kick.
