Hello and welcome to our LIVE match coverage of Newcastle United v Cardiff City from St. James’ Park. Kick off 15.00 BST.

It has been a very subdued St. James’ park with not a lot going on. Cardiff must capitalise on this atmosphere.

Looks like his ankle is the problem but he’s back on his feet. Chants of ‘We want Pardew out’ from a section of Newcastle fans.

Remy has gone down in some discomfort after a challenge from Mutch.

Corner taken by Bellamy, Whittingham back in but Krul claims.

Decent start to the half from Cardiff, applying pressure on the Newcastle defence.

Sloppy pass out of defence from Caulker straight out for a Newcastle throw. Basic stuff.

Turner stretches to reach the corner but can’t quite hook it on target to test Krul. Over a year since his last goal.

So Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made an attacking change in an attempt to rescue his club’s season. Zaha wins an early corner.

Cardiff City sub: Bellamy on for Kim. Newcastle sub: Dummett off for Haidara.

We’re back underway here at St. James’ Park for the biggest half of Cardiff’s season. Newcastle fans have also threatened to stage a walk-out on the 69th minute of the match.

HALF TIME: Newcastle 1-0 Cardiff

Newcastle passing it around nicely, playing out the clock…

Caulker crashes Ameobi’s header down the pitch. Cardiff want the half time whistle.

We’ll have two minutes of stoppage time at the end of this first half for the Debuchy knock.

Dangerous cross from Debuchy looking for Remy but it’s a good claim by Marshall.

Almost too easy for Newcastle in the final third. Sissoko shoots wide again. Too much space being allowed.

POSSESSION: Newcastle 61%-39% Cardiff

The Newcastle fans are walking out! For some half time refreshments…

Only twice this season have Newcastle scored first at home and gone on to lose. The omens not great. Great work from Campbell and he wins a free kick having been brought down by Dummett. Great delivery from Whittingham but just too high for Mutch.

Peter Odemwingie has put Stoke ahead against Fulham. More good news for Cardiff fans.

The good news for Cardiff is that they’re still in it and the Newcastle defence has looked flakey when they’ve attacked.
