Liverpool have their first sniff after a quick break.

Mohamed Salah sets Sadio Mane free down the left with a superb throughball.

The ball somehow gets to Daniel Sturridge inside the area, but a couple of home defenders snuff out the danger.

There’s a huge banner that has just been unveiled in the Gallowgate End and it’s basically to Rafa Benitez based on a similar one used at Valencia

“We follow you everywhere, we’ll always have your back. For all their lies we will never doubt you, we are with you.”

There's a loud chant of "Ra-fa Benitez" ringing round St James's Park.

Not sure if it is the home or away fans singing the Spaniard's name.

Expect goals.

There has not been a 0-0 draw in this fixture since 1974, a run of 67 meetings.

The home side get us under way.

He didn’t get home until 3am this morning after Match of The Day but Alan Shearer is looking fresh faced in the press box ahead of full commentary of Newcastle v Liverpool.

You can listen at the top of this page at 16:30 BST.

Given a start up front in place of Roberto Firmino, striker Daniel Sturridge loves playing against Newcastle.

I would lump on...if I was a betting man.

Ewan Grady: You've got to give credit to Burnley and Sean Dyche for keeping Everton out and seeing the game out. What a start!

Chelsea for life 99: Quite embarrassing considering Everton spent so much over the summer, to be almost in the relegation zone

James Stringer: I am a neutral, but even I am concerned for Everton! No creativity, very predictable and very poor not to replace Lukaku!

Rafa Benitez enjoys playing against Liverpool.

The Spaniard has beaten them home and away in the Champions League with Valencia, and drawing with Chelsea and Newcastle.

So how does current Reds boss Jurgen Klopp's record after 74 games compare to Benitez?

The German has collected 135 points - just one more than Benitez at the same stage.

Good stuff Tom. Shamoon Hafez now in the seat for Newcastle v Liverpool at St James's Park.

Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Rafael Benitez.

Liverpool legends until the end of time.

These three managers brought a total of five European Cups to the Anfield side, but now in-charge of Newcastle, Benitez will be plotting his former side's downfall this afternoon.

Siempre es posible.

There wasn't enough intelligence from Everton. Some of their players are surrounding the referee claiming they should have had a penalty. It certainly wasn't deliberate hand ball.

That is not the problem with Everton.

They didn't play well. They had lots of the ball but didn't look like creating a chance in the second half.

All through the team it looks like a mid-table team, in fact it doesn't look that good!

They are not good enough, they are a long way off. They haven't replaced Lukaku. I know that's a big ask but they haven't got the bodies in they needed to.

The obvious questions will be asked of Ronald Koeman.

Burnley are sixth with 12 points from seven games. Outstanding stuff!

Everton are down in 16th. Wayne Rooney is chuntering away to the officials as the Everton players leave the field.

Ahnaf Tahmed Faiz:, externalCan't believe how poor this Everton side is, haven't created a single clear-cut chance in the 2nd half. Sigurdsson invisible.

Tom Wilkinson: Rooney is shaping up to be the worst signing of the year, Everton are doomed

Keith Anderson: The Everton board have to ask questions of Ronald Koeman ... this can't go on

Loud boos at Goodison as Burnley make their best start to a Premier League season!

Leighton Baines with the cross, Ashley Williams can't get there.

That is one of the best chances of the game so far.

ANOTHER penalty appeal as Ashley Williams' header is deflected wide!

Good decision - right in the chest of Matt Lowton. It nearly went in though...
