    HT: Newcastle 0-1 Leeds

    Newcastle failed to have a shot on target in the first half. The Magpies have had 21 first half shots on target in their 20 Premier League matches this season (three goals from those 21 shots on target).

  2. Home comfort for Saints?published at 18:57 Greenwich Mean Time 26 January 2021

    Southampton v Arsenal (20:15 GMT)

    Southampton have only won one of the last 10 Premier League meetings, drawing four and losing five.

    All seven of Saints' Premier League wins against Arsenal have come at home.

    Theo Walcott could become only the fourth former Arsenal player to score home and away against them in the same season joining Kevin Campbell, Nicolas Anelka and Robin van Persie.

    Mikel Arteta is unbeaten in all seven Premier League matches as a player and manager against Saints.

    West Brom v Man City (20:15 GMT)

    West Brom should have Karlan Grant and Matty Phillips available to face Manchester City.

    The pair had been sidelined by a foot injury and a positive Covid-19 test respectively.

    Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne could be out until late February because of a hamstring injury.

    Sergio Aguero is in isolation following a positive Covid-19 test but Kyle Walker and Nathan Ake might be fit to return.

    Aymeric Laporte made his injury comeback in the FA Cup on Saturday.

    Lockdown has been a blessing as a Newcastle Fan, as I don't have to show my face in work, would be a Brucey bonus if Bruce got sacked.

    Cam, Crewe

    Newcastle seem to be more in danger of conceding goals from their own corners than scoring them.

    Tomáš Soucek scored his sixth and seventh Premier League goals of the campaign. It's the most goals by a Czech player in a single season since Milan Baros netted eight for Aston Villa in 2005-06.

    Ian Shepherd: As it stands there could be possibly 12 teams with a chance of top 4 this season, I'm including Southampton and arsenal in that list.

    Evan Pritchard: At St James' one team is playing in colour and one in black and white. Telling.

    And that's the break.

    Lively finish to that half.

    Jonjo Shelvey floats it in but Liam Cooper heads clear.

    Stuart Dallas might get in down the right here too... he drives into the box and clips a ball across goal, but no one is there for Leeds.

    Marcelo Bielsa is crouched down, throwing out instructions with his arms. The Leeds boss obviously not impressed by something.

    Ryan Fraser attempts to hit one from way out and Newcastle win a corner.

    Can't defend, can't attack. Don't keep possession and zero ambition to win the ball back. What exactly is Steve Bruce doing in training?

    West Ham deservedly in front. They have the advantage and Michail Antonio has hit the post twice. Tomas Soucek on for a hat-trick.

    Those Newcastle chances seem to have sparked Leeds into life.

    Patrick Bamford flicks a header wide from a free-kick, should have hit the target.

    Crystal Palace 1-2 West Ham

    The Hammers have a corner on the right. It's aimed towards Declan Rice at the near post but he can't get a flick-on.

    It almost flies through to Angelo Ogbonna too but it's just too high.

    If we get back to allowing supporters into grounds I fear Bruce would get hammered.

    I see Palace have got the 'sulky Zaha' tonight.

    It's end to end now!

    Leeds break from a Newcastle corner and Raphinha rattles the near post from a narrow angle. Almost had his second there.

    Luke Ayling's header is then deflected out to Rodrigo on the edge of the box, but his effort misses the target.

    Wilfried Zaha roars in frustration as Eberechi Eze slides it down the left for him to chase.

    Zaha tries to use his body but ends up getting shoved off it. He hasn't been able to get on the ball much since his early goal.

    Beansy from Northumberland is the only one who can see what Steve Bruce wants. Steve Bruce isn't really sure.

    Ken, Newcastle.

    Can anyone give a redeeming feature about Newcastle's play? 1 goal in nearly 12 hours of football. Remember though Newcastle fans expect too much.
