Welcome to live coverage of the Premier League match between Newcastle United and Fulham at St. James' Park.

Taylor rises to head for goal from the corner, wide of the far post. Newcastle building pressure.

Cisse on the end of a loose ball in the box and turns a cross towards goal from the right which Schwarzer tips over to be safe.

So close for Newcastle! Anita with a strike from way out after a corner is cleared and the ball deflects off Frimpong on the edge of the box, loops over Schwarzer and hits the bar before going over!

Gouffran offside as Newcastle somewhat scrappily look to attack.

Fulham change: Frimpong on for Enoh, who tried to grit his teeth and play on but simply cannot.

Sissoko is now limping about.

Sissoko turns and looks to burst through midfield, only to be hacked down by Senderos. Another booking.

He does try to continue on his Premier League debut.

The Cameroon star limps off. Emmanuel Frimpong is ready to come on, but he may be okay to continue.

The yellow card comes out - and it is deserved.

Sissoko with a lunge on Eyong Enoh. He apologises, but the Fulham midfielder is hurt.

No changes at the break. Only Aston Villa have conceded more second-half goals than Newcastle this season. The Toon have shipped 35.

Krul made one great save while at the other end Cisse was unlucky with one effort but should have played in Marveaux when taking on another. Gouffran was also incorrectly denied a fantastic chance by the officials. Newcastle perhaps edged the half. Watching at home? Fancy a prediction? I'll go 2-1 Newcastle.

After just one minute of added time, ref Friend brings the half to an end. Goalless.

Hangeland has made more headed clearances than any other player in the Premier League this season (175 before the match).

Berbatov threatening to bring the ball down in the box after interplay with Ruiz, but it doesn't come off for him.

Fulham looking to take the sting out of Newcastle's huff and puff in the closing stages of the half.

Corner won for Newcastle by Anita, and Schwarzer claims the ball at the second attempt when it is pumped in.

It was a great reaction save from Tim Krul as Manolev shot from a few yards out following the initial scramble.

Scramble in the six-yard box from the set-piece, but the Magpies hack clear.

Berbatov carries the ball forward on the left. Three-on-three for Fulham... Ruiz is fed by a sublime disguised ball into the box but his shot is blocked. Corner.
