Newcastle straight on the attack from the off as they counter after a Huddersfield attack breaks down but Jonjo Shelvey shoots wide.

Elias Kachunga is down injured - a moment of concern for the visitors - but he gets up and looks OK to continue.

Back under way with no changes for either side.

This was probably the best chance of the first half with Dwight Gayle flicking a lob just wide of goal.

He's had six shots, but just one on target.

Most of the possession and most of the shots so far for Newcastle. A very dominant performance.

And that's half-time.

Not the highest quality of games, but Newcastle have been by far the better side.

Interesting! Mathias Jorgensen knees the ball back to Jonas Lossl, who takes a touch before picking up the ball. Newcastle fans are screaming for a free kick but Martin Atkinson waves play on.

Into one minute of stoppage time and it's fair to say David Wagner will be the happier manager if the score stays like this at the break.

Dwight Gayle tries a cheeky near-post flick from a low cross but it trickles off target.

Gayle keeps getting in the right places and you just feel one of these will eventually come off for him.

Ayanle: Jonjo Shelvey playing like Pirlo today..surely with passing like that he should be on the plane to Russia ?

One or two shouts for a penalty as Kenedy attempts a pirouette inside the Huddersfield box and falls with a couple of players around him. Referee Martin Atkinson isn't interested and it's the right decision with Kenedy just falling over as he ran into a dead end.

Huddersfield haven't been great, but Newcastle's players are starting to show some signs of frustration as they struggle to get the goal their dominance probably deserves.

It's been a rather thankless task for Laurent Depoitre in the Huddersfield attack. He's largely isolated but doing a good job of pressing Newcastle players when they have possession in their own half, which isn't very often to be fair.

How has Dwight Gayle not scored!? Another quick attack by Newcastle sees a cross fall to Gayle inside the area but his first-time effort is just over the bar.

Chances at both ends suddenly! Tommy Smith's low cross is cleared just in front of goal before Jonjo Shelvey takes a superb, quick free-kick to put Dwight Gayle in but his lob lands just wide of the goal.

That chance for the hosts came after Jonathan Hogg gave away a needless free-kick and was booked. The midfielder is struggling a bit to keep his cool.

Now Newcastle break through Dwight Gayle, he cuts inside Tommy Smith and goes for glory with an ambitious effort that is straight at Jonas Lossl. There were better options for Gayle waiting in the box.

Better by Huddersfield as Laurent Depoitre flicks the ball into Alex Pritchard's path, he loses the ball but Depoitre wins it back again and the visitors eventually manage to win a corner. It comes to nothing, however, a Christopher Schindler misses his header.

Florian Lejeune goes for an incredibly ambitious strike from 35 yards, it smacks against Jonathan Hogg but the lack of any Huddersfield players in the Newcastle half means the hosts just pick up the ball and start the attack again.

There is some very suspect defending by Huddersfield at the moment - clearing headers going all over the place.

The visitors are looking very, very nervous.

A rare attack sees Huddersfield win a corner. It's sent deep to Laurent Depoitre, who gets his head to it to knock the ball back into the dangerzone but Newcastle eventually manage to clear as Jonathan Hogg misses his volley.

Vital save!

Matt Ritchie is through one-on-one but Jonas Lossl does well to deflect his shot behind with his feet.

It's just wave after wave of Newcastle attacks.
