A tough test may await Liverpool on Tyneside this weekend but we've got a big-hitting line-up on Friday Night Live this evening on LFC TV from 6pm BST as the build-up to that game begins.

Matt Critchley is the host and he'll be joined on the red sofa by hat-trick of guests in former Liverpool and Newcastle midfielder Didi Hamann, Daily Mirror columnist Brian Reade and local boxer Paul Smith.

Coming up on the show we'll have the pre-match thoughts of boss Kenny Dalglish, master marksman Ian Rush proves he's not lost any of his predatory instincts, Dirk Kuyt lifts the lid on the dressing room secrets of his teammates, Ray Houghton takes our either/or test and ahead his return to the north-east we hear from Jose Enrique.

As always you can get involved by letting  us know your thoughts by texting us on 60240 starting with the word KOP, emailing lfctv@liverpoolfc.tv or tweeting @LFC.
