Miguel Almiron's cross is blocked by Junior Firpo on the right.

The corner meets the head of Fabian Schar but it's cleared off the line, before Schar's rebound shot is blocked.

Eddie Howe is getting Allan Saint-Maximin ready to come on.

Junior Firpo and Patrick Bamford play a one-two to get in the box but the former goes down under contact from Kieran Trippoer and wants a penalty. He won't get one. It was a clean challenge.

Patrick Bamford is going to be feeling a bit fragile but that's what comes with being a Premier League striker.

Bringing Forshaw on suggests he [Allardyce] wants to get further up the field to cause problems for Newcastle.

Rodrigo curls a teasing ball in from the right. It bounces off Patrick Bamford and doesn't fall kindly for Robin Koch.

At the other end, Callum Wilson smashes one dangerously wide and over the bar. It took a touch off Rasmus Kristensen on the way.

Adam Forshaw, on at half-time for Sam Greenwood, makes an early impression, hassling Newcastle's back four and winning a throw-in deep in their half.

It comes to nothing though with Nick Pope able to gather it in comfortably.

Joel Robles gets a hand to the cross and it's then headed behind by Joelinton for a goal kick.

Leeds keep the ball well for a minute or so but Newcastle break with more purpose, sending Callum Wilson on his way down the right before he's clipped by Maximilian Wober to earn a free-kick.

Off we go again in Leeds.

Big 45 minutes coming up.

The sun is shining and fans are smiling around Old Trafford as this afternoon's game approaches.

Newcastle being held by Leeds at the moment will please some supporters as it means a win against Wolves this afternoon and they will move level on points with them in third.

However, hanging onto a place in the top four - and with it securing Champions League football next season - is the priority, and Manchester United are looking over their shoulders at a resurgent Liverpool who are just one point behind them.

Boss Erik ten Hag has used his programme notes to underline that Manchester United are in the driving street in the pursuit of their goal. "We know that three wins from our four remaining Premier League games will guarantee the outcome we want," he writes.

Against a Wolves side who are now assured of Premier League safety, Ten Hag will be expecting the first of those three wins to come today.

Patrick Bamford just didn't look confident. He's stepped in big games in the past but his penalty wasn't well struck.

We all know what he has done for Leeds, he's the figure head at the top of the pitch but he'll be really disappointed because that's the big moment in this first half.

A fascinating half of football.

Luke Ayling, of all people, getting Leeds ahead and then it swings on two penalties.

Newcastle look composed coming forward but I think overall both managers won't be too disappointed with how it stands.

Well. That was some half.

Patrick Bamford's penalty was saved by Nick Pope and Callum Wilson went straight up the other end to equalise from the spot.

It cancelled out Luke Ayling's early opener so we're all square. Plenty to play for!

The atmopshere is still there but it's very tense. Leeds just need to find a bit of composure.

Sam Allardyce will be happy with how it has gone so far. Yes, they've missed a penalty but they are competing well with Newcastle.

Not far off at all! Miguel Almiron curls it dangerously past the far post.

Luke Ayling nudges Joe Willock off the ball in the box but plays goes on. It's hoofed clear to Patrick Bamford and he's beaten to it by Sven Botman.
