    Newcastle 0-0 Crystal Palace

    From the resulting corner the Magpies really should take the lead.

    Florian Lejeune rises highest to meet the whipped ball in but he can only direct his thumping header straight at Vincente Guaita. Either side of the keeper, as they say...

    The dangerous Miguel Almiron weaves inside and out before standing up a ball for Ayoze Perez who sees his shot deflected over the bar.

    It's been a brave start by Newcastle in the second half.

    Palace haven't come out of the blocks yet.

    Palace haven't won at St James' since 1998 - could they do away with that unwanted record today?

    Jeffrey Schlupp heads wide from Wilfried Zaha's clever volleyed cross.

    Ki sung-yueng again tries his luck from range but it goes harmlessly wide. Poor effort.

    All square at the break.

    Though both sides have seen a goal chalked off - Salomon Rondon for the hosts and James Tomkins for the visitors.

    Salomon Rondon wastes a Newcastle free-kick in a threatening area by firing it over the bar.

    Two minutes of added time.

    Can either side break the deadlock?

  12. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 42 mins

    Newcastle 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Ooh. That's a late flag.

    Palace thought they had taken the lead through James Tomkins who fired home from a corner.

    But James McArthur is called offside - although he didn't touch the ball, he was definitely un-sighting Martin Dubravka there.

    Tomkins was already wheeling away in celebration.

    Yet another chance for the hosts.

    Ayoze Perez beats his man to put a ball in the box but after a scramble Miguel Almiron can only fire over.

    Looking at the replays the challenge between Michy Batshuayi and Isaac Hayden is pretty innocuous.

    The Belgian is back on his feet now but he's not looking quite right.

    Newcastle eventually put the ball out of play with Michy Batshuayi down on the St James' turf.

    He's holding his ankle after a hearty 50-50.

    Another chance goes begging for the Magpies.

    Salomon Rondon latches onto DeAndre Yedlin's cross and, after a tussle with James Tomkins, manages to get a shot off which Vincente Guaita saves.

    Salomon Rondon has been involved in six goals in his last five home league games.

    Will he add to that today? He's looking good so far.

    Newcastle come again.

    This time down the right as DeAndre Yedlin picks out Salomon Rondon, who had peeled off Aaron Wan-Bissaka, at the back post but the Venezuelan can only head over.

    Salomon Rondon holds the ball up and plays it to Ki sung-yueng who tries one from distance but it's straight down Vincente Guaita's throat.

    The South Korean is yet to open his Magpies account.

    Miguel Almiron chases down a seemingly lost cause to get a ball in the box for Ayoze Perez to attack but the Spaniard's touch isn't deft enough and the keeper is able to claim it.

    The home fans enjoyed that.
