Ahhhhh - Billy Sharp is left punching the ground in frustration as he passes up a great chance to equalise.

George Baldock spins a lovely cross to the far post, Sharp's timing of the run and leap is perfect, he beats his man in the air but just heads it wide!

Aston Villa

Aston Villa name the same side which held Sheffield United on Wednesday, while Chelsea make four changes from their last game way back in March.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek, N'Golo Kante, Andreas Christensen and Mateo Kovacic all come in. Olivier Giroud leads the line.

Full XIs to follow...

What is Enda Stevens thinking? Just put your foot through it. He took his eye off the ball.

Give Saint-Maximin credit. It's a good finish. Henderson no chance that low.

Sheffield United have never won a Premier League match when they've had a player sent off. It's a big ask.

Joelinton then flicks a decent header in on goal but it's comfortable for Dean Henderson.

As soon as Joelinton got past John Egan he was done for pace. Once you're on that yellow card he's got to go I'm afraid. But that first yellow card is debatable.

How will Chris Wilder shuffle his pack then? Go to a back four?

Drama! We have some action and maybe time to give Joelinton some praise.

Just a big hoof down the middle, Joelinton and John Egan go up for the challenge and the Brazilian gets the better of it.

Egan grabs him by the shirt to stop him from running away, he's only about midway through the half so it's a booking. But Egan was cautioned in the first half for arguing with Joelinton so he's off!

Huge chance now for the hosts.

Sleepy start to the half. Come on now, enough's enough. Let's crack on.

No changes - as you were.

Here we come. Hopefullly they'll bring their shooting boots out with them.

We know he's (Joelinton) not worth £40m. You can't say he doesn't get chances. Dwight Gayle is more adjusted to the English game.

He must be sitting there watching and thinking 'get me out there and get me those chances'. At this level every chance you get you've got to take it.

There's a decent tempo to the game, we can't fault the players. Apart from Saint-Maximin there's a lack of quality in the final third for both teams which probably shows why these two teams have struggled to score a lot of goals this season.

Newcastle have scored just two first half goals in their last 15 league games.

Aston Villa v Chelsea (16:15 BST)

Everton v Liverpool (19:00 BST)

At least BBC One got some first-half goals last night.

Chirag: I really hope this trend of 0-0 at half-time ends after week 1 once teams get used to the lack of crowds. First halves have been consistently pedestrian.

Jonathan Brown: Get the feeling that Joelinton will be one of the last of the crazy money signings. Post-Covid the funds just won't be available for such risky buys

Superb deadball delivery, first from Ollie Norwood and then John Fleck, sees the ball ricochet around the goalmouth but Newcastle clear in the nick of time.

It was a promising opening but we've had one shot on target each and it's all a bit pedestrian at the moment. Newcastle seeing lots of midfield play.
