Liverpool's final game of the season at Newcastle could be moved to neutral venue due to fears over home fans gathering to celebrate end of Mike Ashley's ownership

Liverpool's final game of the season at Newcastle could be moved to a neutral venue amid police fears over the #cans hashtag and home fans gathering to celebrate the end of Mike Ashley’s ownership.

Supporters of the Magpies have been anticipating the completion of a Saudi-led takeover since news broke of a £300million deal being agreed in April. It is currently awaiting Premier League approval.

And we can reveal that Northumbria Police have flagged concerns over Newcastle fans congregating at St James’ Park on the final weekend of the campaign to toast the back of Ashley.
