Newcastle taking no chances. Off goes Almiron, who is walking to the touchline and doesn't look in too much discomfort, and on comes Javier Manquillo.

Also on is Elliott Anderson for Kieran Trippier.

Is it a penalty?

The referee is now on the side of pitch watching a replay of the incident.

Miguel Almiron has gone to ground off the ball. He's going to need some treatment.

Michail Antonio goes down inside the Palace box. Penalty says the referee. VAR is now looking at it.

Villa's players are running themselves into the ground in front of their new boss. Applause rings round the ground as Emiliano Buendía sparks an attack that almost sets up Ollie Watkins.

No sign of the home side shutting up shop. They want a fourth goal.

The crowd has thinned out hugely now. The home fans have been drifting away from the moment Joe Willock's shot hit the back of the net.

Newcastle have now had 12 different goalscorers in the Premier League this season, more than any other side.

The return of the Max!

Allan Saint-Maximin is back for Newcastle, taking the place of Joe Willock, who took a blow to the foot in the process of tackling Samuel Edozie.

Big moment. Free-kick to United just outside Villa's box and Cristiano Ronaldo likes the look of this. Up steps United's captain and it doesn't clear the wall. Sums up the visitors this afternoon.

Palace have had 13 attempts but still only have one goal to show for their work. Will they get a winner in the closing stages?

With Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura both injured in the midweek win at Marseille, the attacking pair are replaced in Tottenham's starting XI by right wing-back Emerson Royal and midfielder Yves Bissouma.

Those are the only two changes made by Antonio Conte. which means it will be interesting to see how the hosts line-up in support of Harry Kane.

Better news injury-wise sees Sweden attacking midfielder Dejan Kulusevski back on the bench.

Spurs XI: Lloris, Dier, Lenglet, Davies, Emerson Royal, Højbjerg, Bentancur, Bissouma, Perisic, R Sessegnon, Kane.

Standing ovation for Leon Bailey as he makes way for John McGinn.

Villa are 20 minutes away from a statement win in Unai Emery's first match in charge.

Can Saints give themselves even the slimmest of hope or even a consolation goal in this game? It is not looking likely.

United have sent on Anthony Elanga and within moments he goes down inside the box after colliding with Emi Martinez.

That looked a legal challenge and VAR decides no action is required.

Meanwhile, Elanga is receiving treatment on the pitch.

It's still raining but the sun has come out, meaning we have a rainbow over St Mary's. It's not something the locals are really in the mood to appreciate right now.

You have to take your hat off to Newcastle.

I thought they were wobbling during the pressure from Saints at the start of this half. But they stood firm, waited and ruthlessly put this game to bed.

Shane O'Neill: The United players clearly haven't taken this game seriously and are paying the price for it. VDB and Ronaldo shouldn't be anywhere near this team. Their time is done and they only stifle the others.

Temperatures are threatening to boil over at Villa Park as United's frustrations continue. Cheers from the home fans as Cristiano Ronaldo loses his way. This has been tepid by United.

Ralph Hasenhuttl has a face of thunder as he stands on the touchline, hood up, soaked to the bone.

"Sacked in the morning" sing the away fans. That World Cup break, and the chance it provides for a club reset, suddenly starts to look like a serious threat.

Wilfried Zaha looks set to put Palace 2-1 ahead but Craig Dawson produces a superb last-ditch challenge inside the box to save West Ham.
