Good morning and welcome to LIVE coverage of Newcastle United against Manchester City from the Premier League. A 12.45pm kick-off. Teams coming right up for you.

Cisse has the option to look for Perch, but instead lets fly from distance. And knocks the ball over the bar from 30 yards. Decent hit. Just rising too high.

Newcastle last came from behind to win a Premier League home match in May 2009 – the 3-1 victory against Middlesbrough.

Kolo Toure is the right man in the right place to head clear the free-kick delivery by Santon.

Aguero concedes a seventh City foul of the day after chopping down Santon. Another Newcastle free-kick is coming right up here.

Nasri sets up Aguero with a lovely pass, but his shot races just wide. Brilliant stuff again from City. Newcastle can't get near the ball.

Silva is taken out of the action late by Danny Simpson, who is booked for that little cynical foul.

Tevez rattles a shot at goal that deflects wide. The game raging from end to end. Must be said, this is a fantastic match to watch. Has a real pace and momentum to it.

Hart doing well to block from Ba before throwing himself across the line to save from Williamson. Newcastle getting most of their success from these high free-kicks into the City box.

Tiote loses the ball in the middle of the park, but recovers well to race back and deprive Tevez of possession as he broke up the park at speed.

It is 26 months since Newcastle last won a Premier League match after conceding the opener – the 2-1 victory at West Ham in October 2010.

Alan Pardew has had easier opening 22 minutes as Newcastle manager than this. His side looking more than a little disjointed, shall we say. Fortunate to only be one down.

Cisse failing to keep the ball in from Ba's pass, and that will be a goalkick to the visiting side.

Manchester City have never lost a Premier League match against Newcastle after taking the lead. Only once have they dropped points at St James' against them – the 2-2 draw in October 2008.

Nasri needing some treatment after colliding with Anita. Newcastle happy for the rest.

Silva sets up Nasri, whose shot hits a post before Williamson scrambles clear a shot by Aguero. This is far too easy. How did Newcastle survive that?

City just keeping the ball with some ease. Silva showing all his close control, but the home side deal well with another dangerous cross. Santon well positioned.

The City fans in full voice as they bedeck the December air with cries of "Mancini". Little wonder. This has been an impressive start by the champions.

Manchester City have never lost a Premier League match when Sergio Aguero has scored for them, winning 19 of the 20 Premier League matches when he has found the net, including each of their last 16. The only time they failed to win was the 2-2 draw at Fulham in Sep 2011.

Nasri dinks the ball across the face of the home goal, but Tevez just fails to connect at the back post. City utterly rampant here. The pace of the passing is breathtaking.

Williamson is going to be booked for a late challenge on Tevez. The Argentina forward just too quick.

Newcastle really have to come to their senses otherwise this game could run away from them. City certainly look in the mood.
