    FT: Newcastle 1-1 Man Utd! All over in Newcastle and 1-1 is a fair result here. St-Maximin had given Newcastle an early lead, but Man Utd picked up in the second half and Cavani levelled after 71 minutes. United finished the stronger, but Newcastle hit a post and forced De Gea into a tremendous save within seconds. It's a good result for the hosts, but losing Wilson and St-Maximin will be of great concern. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

    Cavani looks to have won a free-kick just outside the box, but the lino correctly spots the Uruguayan is offside.

    Horrible news for Newcastle... St-Maximin has pulled a muscle and his game could well be over. They can't afford to lose their two best strikers to injury....

    What are Newcastle doing?? Telles' cross for Cavani at the back stick is left by both Lascelles and the GK and they get lucky as Cavani's weak effort allows them to clear off the line! They obviously haven't learnt from last week.
  • 74'

  • 73'
    Can't really say that goal was coming, but it's a big goal for Rangnick's men.

  • 71'
    Cavani levels the score!!! Rashford finds Dalot on the far side, he passes to Cavani in the middle whose first shot is blocked by the defender, the ball goes straight back to him and the strike finds the far corner! It looks he scuffed it a bit and it took a little deflection, but they all count!

  • 57'
    Ronaldo is the first player to enter the referee's notebook for a stupid swipe on Fraser both with his leg and his arm. That was really silly...
  • 55'
    Cavani! Sacnho receives the ball on the far side, he cuts into the area and lays off for the Uruguayan who completely scuffs his effort wide.
  • 54'
    Brilliant pressing by St-Maximin on Varane leads to cheers from the home supporters.
  • 52'
    Ronaldo!! The ball breaks to Ronaldo and his strike is well wide of the far stick! Better from Man Utd though.

    The visitors win a free-kick on the far side. They try and take it quickly again, but Pawson isn't having it.

  • 47'
    St-Maximin!!! What a miss!!!! Krafth plays the perfect cross for the striker and his touch from point-blank range is saved by De Gea!! It really should've been out of the GK's reach. That's a really poor miss.
  • 46'
    Newcastle catch United on the counter through St-Maximin, but the Frenchman takes too long and it comes to nothing.

  • 45'
    HT: Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd! Half-time at St James Park and a 7th minute St-Maximin goal is the difference here. The hosts started the game very well and punished some sloppy United defending. They continued to attack and had a goal disallowed, but they lost Wilson to injury just before the break. United improved in attack as the half went on, but hardly created a meaningful chance. Back shortly!

    45+6: Newcastle sub: Murphy on for Wilson.
  • 45'
    45+5: Man Utd attack and there's a lovely tackle on the far side to concede the throw-in. Wilson is also down again and he'll be replaced at half-time. It looks to be a calf problem.
  • 45'
    45+1: Wilson is up, but his knee still isn't right.
  • 45'
    Four added minutes.
  • 45'

  • 43'
    Fernandes is denied by the GK after a lovely pass by Ronaldo, but Ronaldo is offside in the build up.
  • 41'
    That was clever!!! The free-kick is chipped by Fernandes to Greenwoodc and Dubravka comes out to make an important stop! Newcastle weren't set for that. Wouldn't have counted though as Ronaldo was off and went for the ball.
  • 40'
    Rashford is brought down around 25 yards from goal. Is this an opportunity for the away side?

  • 36'
    Fraser's delivery is headed behind by Telles for a corner.
  • 35'

  • 22'
    Greenwood's pass finds nobody and the ball runs through to Dubravka. Man Utd are really lacking any sign of a cutting edge so far.

    St-Maximin gives Newcastle the lead!!! Can you believe it?? A throw-in is flicked on by Newcastle, Varane then takes too long on the ball and has his pocket picked, the ball is given to Saint-Maximin whose shot from inside the box finds the far corner!

    Clark made a comical mistake in the game against Man City, you may remember.

    Newcastle have conceded 11 goals in their last three fixtures (scoring just once) and their last match was a 0-4 loss to Man City and Howe makes six changes. Manquillo, Schar, Krafth, Shelvey, S Longstaff and St-Maximin are in for Murphy, Clark, Ritchie, Almiron, Willock and Hayden.

    Rangnick has won his two PL games 1-0 (or 0-1) up to now and he makes two changes from the win at Norwich. Varane replaces Lindelof in defence while Greenwood plays instead of Sancho.
