    Philippe Coutinho

    Liverpool

    Hit lad.

    You just cannot give him that much space or time.

    Liverpool magician Philippe Coutinho working that wand of a right foot again.

    The Brazilian cuts in from the left and Jonjo Shelvey elects to stand off him. Fatal error.

    Coutinho looks up and from 30 yards out, curls a sumptuous strike into the top corner. Rob Elliot has had nothing to do all game and was not getting to it.

    Newcastle just have to try and take some of the sting out of this game. The pace is suiting Liverpool more than Newcastle at the minute.

    A holding midfielder ain't Liverpool's problem so far, they just Kante put the ball in the back of the net.

    I'm here all week.

    David Ljunggren: Newcastle may be well organised but they lack creativity

    Paul Walmsley: The problem with this LFC team is that they never replaced Lucas. Crying out for a Kante-style holding player. Henderson ain't it.

    Newcastle 0-0 Liverpool

    Goal mouth scramble, how have Liverpool not scored???

    Georginio Wijnaldum flicks an effort at goal from the corner, which rattles the inside of the post.

    From the rebound, it looks like Sadio Mane has hit the other post.

    Then Dejan Lovren has an effort blocked and on the follow-up, Mane shoots wide from a few yards out.

    Boss Jurgen Klopp smiles on the touchline, suggesting he has seen this all before.

    Newcastle need to start tracking Joe Gomez down the right.

    The Liverpool full-back is getting forward at will and earns a corner.

    There are ominous signs from Liverpool. They are just starting to control the ball and pass it around at their pace.

    Newcastle 0-0 Liverpool

    Newcastle made a bright start but are being pegged back now.

    Mohamed Salah - blessed with plenty of pace - bursts forward into the box, but home defender DeAndre Yedlin chases back to intercept the ball in the nick of time.

    Liverpool starting to grow into this game.

    Joe Gomez gets forward and plays a ball to the back post for Sadio Mane to take full on the volley, but the shot hits the sidenetting.

    I am not sure Newcastle defenders were aware of Mane ghosting in at the far post there.

    Newcastle being carved open at the back for the first time.

    Lovely intricate football in the final third by Liverpool - Philippe Coutinho eventually playing a reverse pass through to Daniel Sturridge.

    Looking for his eighth goal against the Magpies, Sturridge shoots from eight yards out, but the goalbound effort is blocked by a brilliant Jamaal Lascelles sliding challenge.

    Man down.

    It's Javier Manquillo who has hit the deck very heavily, following an aerial challenge with Liverpool full-back Joe Gomez.

    A sore hip for the Spaniard, but he's OK to carry on.

    He will feel it in the morning though.

    It is important, after Liverpool's game in the Champions League in midweek, that Newcastle keep up this pressure that they have started with.

    Nice.

    A dragback in the centre circle from Jonjo Shelvey sends Jordan Henderson the wrong way.

    The former Liverpool midfielder then fizzes a pass into the feet of Matt Ritchie on the edge of the box, but the left-footer's low strike causes Simon Mignolet no problems.

    A couple of comfortable saves for the Belgian early on, that will help his fragile confidence.

    It has been noticeable that Newcastle are working hard in midfield and closing Liverpool down. When they are winning the ball back there is a little bit of space in front of the Liverpool defence.

    Can't wait to watch Mikel Merino in action for the home side today.

    Such a tidy player on the ball. Surprised no other team went in for him on-loan from Borrusia Dortmund.

    He has had a couple of neat touches so far, just keeping it ticking in the middle of the park.

    It is a positive start from Newcastle. I am surprised because I thought they might sit back and it would be Liverpool on the ball.

    Jonjo Shelvey would love to score against his old side, I am sure he would celebrate it too, but the Newcastle man's curled effort from 25-yards out is easy for Simon Mignolet.

    At the other end, Daniel Sturridge is eyeing up his customary goal against the Magpies but his chip from outside the area sails over the crossbar.

    It has been a good start to this contest.
