Is Newcastle vs Liverpool on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Premier League fixture

The Premier League season is underway, and Liverpool will open their campaign with a challenging fixture against Newcastle United at St James' Park on Sunday, August 23. The match is scheduled to kick-off at 4:30pm BST. As the Reds begin their new season under manager Andoni Iraola, they face a squad that Iraola himself admits is "thin" in certain areas. However, hopes remain high as Liverpool aims to challenge for the title, with players like Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Jeremy Jacquet expected to make an impact.

Newcastle United, on the other hand, are embarking on a new chapter under manager Matthias Jaissle. The German has had to make adjustments following the departure of several key players, including Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes, and Anthony Gordon. Despite these setbacks, a strong performance in the opening game against Liverpool would undoubtedly be a positive start to the season, helping Jaissle to win over the support of the Magpies faithful.

Newcastle's starting lineup for this crucial match includes Lukas Hornicek in goal, with Amar Dedic and Sean Steur making their Premier League debuts. Yoane Wissa is set to start up front, instead of Nick Woltemade. Newcastle will be without Joelinton and Tino Livramento, both of whom are sidelined. Alexander Isak, who leads the line for Liverpool, is set to be particularly eager to assert his dominance against his former club.

Jeremy Jacquet also makes his debut in the center of defense, alongside captain Virgil Van Dijk, while Rio Ngumoha and Victor Munoz provide a glimpse of the young talent that Liverpool hopes to develop further.
