Burnley's corner count moves into double figures as Chris Wood forces another one which is well gathered by Martin Dubravka.

Matthew B: Chris Wood today showing why he's been a top quality player for Burnley over the past few years.

Martin Dubravka has certainly been the busier of the two keepers.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell has not had too much to do after stepping in for the injured Nick Pope.

Just one attempt on target from Newcastle so far.

West Ham have made one change to the starting XI for last Monday's 3-2 win at Wolves, with Jarrod Bowen replacing Michail Antonio, who came off with a hamstring injury.

England midfielder Declan Rice remains out so captain Mark Noble continues in his absence, making his 400th Premier League appearance for the Hammers.

West Ham starting XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Dawson, Diop, Cresswell, Soucek, Noble, Fornals, Lingard, Masuaku, Bowen.

Subs: Trott, Balbuena, Benrahma, Alves, Fredericks, Johnson, Odubeko, Coventry, Martin.

Leicester have made two changes to the side which started last weekend's 2-0 home defeat by Manchester City.

Ricardo Pereira is recalled while Dennis Praet comes in for his first Premier League start of 2021, with Marc Albrighton and Ayoze Perez making way.

Leicester starting XI: Schmeichel, Amartey, Evans, Fofana, Pereira, Tielemans, Ndidi, Castagne, Praet, Iheanacho, Vardy.

Subs: Albrighton, Mendy, Fuchs, Thomas, Leshabela, Daley-Campbell, Tavares, Suengchitthawon, Ward.

Fast start by Burnley and a lovely save by Martin Dubravka to keep out a dipping volley by Matt Lowton. Lovely shot but the keeper was equal to it.

Steve Bruce has opted against making changes at the start of the second half. He has Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin back from injury on the bench.

And we're back under way at a chilly Turf Moor.

Euann Kerr: What is the point of VAR?

This has been a sharp and energetic performance from the Clarets.

It's only the sixth time in 259 Premier League games that Burnley have had 11 or more shots in the first half of a match.

The trick now is not to blow the lead like last week at Southampton.

Steve Bruce is without a win in his last 44 Premier League games when his side has gone in at half time behind (D5 L39) since a 3-2 win over Newcastle as Hull boss in September 2013.

Watching a replay of the Burnley goal and marvelling at the work of Chris Wood who disappears over an advertising hoarding after finding Matej Vydra. What a player he has been for the Clarets.

axp: No idea how that wasn’t a penalty, how does VAR not think that was a clear and obvious error????

Jim Martin: So kicks to the face are acceptable inside the box at head height. Good to know.

James Beswick: I have absolutely no idea why that is not a penalty, given as a free-kick without any contact elsewhere on pitch. But players seemed to just accept it, so now I don't know what to think...

VAR again ibeing discussed. Who would have thought?

Big team talk from Steve Bruce coming up.

Half a chance for Federico Fernandez but it bounces off his thigh and into the arms of Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

An outstanding full-stretch save by Martin Dubravka from his own player Paul Dummett who had stuck out a boot in an attempt to make a clearance but diverted it towards his own net.

Burnley are finishing the half strongly.

I'm not blessed with a monitor to see replays here, but on first sight that looked like a penalty for the high foot on Sean Longstaff.

Anywhere else on the pitch and that's a foul isn't it?

Burnley 1-0 Newcastle

Newcastle are not happy!

Dwight Gayle is thwarted by Bailey Peacock-Farrell but the visitors want a penalty for James Tarkowski's challenge on Sean Longstaff.

VAR has a look at it before play continues.
