Newcastle vs Liverpool live stream and match preview
Looking for a Newcastle vs Liverpool live stream? We've got you covered. Newcastle vs Liverpool is on Sky Sports in the UK. Brit abroad? Use a VPN to watch the Premier League with your subscription from anywhere.
Newcastle are without a win in their last three games and are starting to slip away from Manchester United in third. While the Magpies haven't lost in the league since August – their only Premier League defeat so far – five draws since the World Cup have hit their progress.
In fact, that one defeat came against Saturday's opponents Liverpool, who have been inconsistent all season. A derby victory against Everton earlier in the week will have raised spirits, but Jurgen Klopp's side will be well aware that no travelling team has yet left St. James' Park with three points.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm GMT. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
