Another chance goes begging for Chelsea on the hour mark.

Reece James clips in the free-kick to the back post but Antonio Rudiger cannot find the target with his header.

The second half begins.

Andy Rudd: Everton winning this game, with this team, and these injuries would truly be a Christmas miracle….. unfortunately I can’t see it happening. Give the gift of points this Christmas Chelsea

Everton youngster Jarrad Branthwaite threatens to break away but Jorginho takes one for the team, tripping the Everton player and earning himself a booking.

Still won't happen for Chelsea.

Everton fail to clear a free-kick allowing Cesar Azpilicueta to take a touch into the box before smashing over the bar.

Meanwhile, Jordan Pickford launches one up field and the ball drops for Ben Godfrey on the edge of the area, but it is a real defender's finish, scuffed into the hands of Edouard Mendy.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 120 Premier League home matches in which they led at half-time (W107 D13) since a 2-1 defeat by Arsenal on 13 December 2009.

55 minutes gone and Jordan Pickford is beginning to time waste.

Gone a bit early there, I feel.

The Everton number one gets a warning from referee Michael Oliver.

This has got FT: Chelsea 0-1 Everton written all over it, hasn't it?

The visitors break forward courtesy of Alex Iwobi's run and he eventually finds Jonjoe Kenny down the right, but the full-back sends his cross-come-shot over.

Mason Mount, looking to net for the fourth consecutive game, takes aim from outside the area.

It takes a huge deflection off a Toffees defending and is arching towards the far corner, but Jordan Pickford flings himself to his left to tip the ball away.

From the resulting corner, this seems like Chelsea's best chance of the game as Ruben Loftus-Cheek rises to meet the ball, free inside the six yard box, but ends up shouldering his effort over.

A problem for Chelsea at the start of the second half with Hakim Ziyech taking a knock to the ankle.

Bit part player Ross Barkley is out warming up and is getting a hot reception from the Everton fans.

That half went pretty much as you'd expect... except for Jonjo Shelvey giving Newcastle the lead.

Can Chelsea find a goal? Back under way at The Bridge.

Newcastle's Joelinton goes into the book for a foul.

Moments earlier Ibrahima Konate did well to win the ball off Isaac Hayden in the box. It was inches away from being a Toon penalty.

Newcastle's first attack in what seems like days. Allan Saint-Maximin goes on a mazy run, but then ends up getting crowded out in the box. He had a team-mate he should have picked out.

Party stuff now as Mohamed Salah backheels the ball into the path of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Newcastle's defenders should be earning overtime, they're having to work so hard here.

And when I say defenders, I basically mean all their players who are back defending.

Ryan Fraser does well to slide in and stop Mohamed Salah in the box.

Newcastle haven't even had a touch in Liverpool's penalty area yet, Jonjo Shelvey's goal was from 25 yards. It's 77-23% on possession.

Newcastle have only been ahead for 192 minutes in the Premier League this season, including 14 minutes tonight.
