Nick Pope appears in pain again. Wayne Hennessey again gets ready in case. He hasn't played a Premier League game since 2020.

West Ham are starting to produce the chances now. Declan Rice blasts a couple of shots across the goal and then Said Benrahma's powerful header is well saved just next to the post by a diving Nick Pope.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall heads off for a bit of treatment. He's holding his stomach.

Jamie Vardy is still sat unmoved on the bench for Leicester.

These guys love winning corners. Cut them and they bleed corners. West Ham take an 8-5 lead.

Allan Saint-Maximin gets past Youri Tielemans but his curling effort is blocked.

It falls to Joelinton and he gets one on target but it's comfortable for Kasper Schmeichel.

It's 0.45-0.37 on expected goals. So if we round them both down it's, yep, 0-0.

Freddie: Michail Antonio seems to be the opposite of Kane - he ONLY scores in August…

Craig Dawson heads away Ashley Westwood's cross. It's always Craig Dawson.

Callum Wilson has barely touched the ball so far. Another Newcastle move involving Allan Saint-Maximin doesn't come to him.

Jarrod Bowen is lucky to avoid a booking for hacking Charlie Taylor near the corner flag. Free-kick in crossing country for Burnley.

Decent chance!

Patson Daka carries it forward for Leicester. It comes to Harvey Barnes outside the box and he has a pop at it.

It's not too far past the right post!

West Ham corner now. Declan Rice has a nice surging run into the box but Ben Mee tackles him just as he's about to shoot. Said Benrahma's cross is put behind by Mee.

The corner comes to not much.

Burnley have a chance about 20 seconds in this half. Jay Rodriguez's first-time shot from eight yards is on target but blocked by Craig Dawson.

From the corner Charlie Taylor has a shot closed down. The fans appeal for something.

Hi Santa,

All I want is some goals in this game.

Thanks

(PS I also want a machine that makes fizzy drinks)

Off we go again in Leicester.

Brendan Rodgers will be very pleased. Leicester have players missing and lost Jonny Evans very early on and it can upset the team when you have to put a midfielder in that central defensive position.

They have shown promise, they have moved the ball around but they need to do it a little bit quicker.

Newcastle have got to show more going forward and be braver.

Papito: One of the worst penalty decisions i have ever seen, how on earth is that a penalty? English refs are a mess.

David: That's a dive! Lascelles should do better (much better) but he's going over about an hour beforehand!!

Rebecca: How has Maddison got away with that?! No contact, huge dive

Were you more Youri or Allan when that penalty decision was given?

Here's that West Ham penalty claim for a short while ago. Dwight McNeil wanted to kick the bouncing ball clear but he got Craig Dawson's shin instead.

It will probably go down as the talking point of that tight opening 45 minutes.
