Liverpool's final game of Premier League title-winning campaign away at Newcastle WILL be played at St James' Park... despite initial fears fans of both clubs could gather on Tyneside

Liverpool's final game of their title-winning campaign against Newcastle United WILL be played at St James' Park.

The fixture had been among those flagged by police as high-risk amid fears that supporters of both clubs could gather on Tyneside.

Sportsmail reported last month how Northumbria Police were concerned about Newcastle fans using the game to celebrate the end of Mike Ashley's ownership.

The club's £300million Saudi-led takeover is still awaiting Premier League approval and the local police force are aware of the #cans hashtag on social media, which has been used to talk about the prospect of toasting new owners.
