Welcome to Eurosport's live coverage of the Premier League clash between Newcastle United and Queens Park Rangers at St James' Park!

Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match, along with every Premier League game, from 00:01 on Monday morning (UK only).

The final whistle goes and it's a losing start to Mark Hughes's time in charge of QPR. They stay in the bottom three.

Newcastle looking more likely to score the game's second in the final moments, and they're not even trying.

Ameobi turns his marked well but his heavy touch sees the ball run out of play as he charges into the box.

The fourth official signals three minutes of added time.

Macheda chases down Krul as the keeper has the ball at his feet, but the Dutchman keeps his cool and plays it casually to a team-mate in space.

QPR send their big men forward as a free-kick from deep is hoisted into the Newcastle box. Plenty of hustle and bustle but the visitors are not allowed to get a clean sht away by Newcastle.

Newcastle United's goalkeeper Tim Krul is looking for his eighth clean sheet of this Premier League season, a total which would put him on par with Joe Hart (Manchester City), Pepe Reina (Liverpool) and Brad Friedel (Tottenham Hotspur). The record holder is Michel Vorm (Swansea City) who will be aiming to keep his 10th clean sheet of the season in the other match today.

Another booking for a QPR player, this time Macheda for his clumsy tackle on Guthrie.

Newcastle look both willing and well-equipped to just keep the ball and see this match out now. Very little effect from QPR's attacking substitutions.

Newcastle substitution: Dan Gosling replaces Taylor.

QPR have had 13 attempts on goal in this match, six of which have been on target. Newcastle's goal came from their only effort on target.

QPR have scored just 11% of their goals in the final 15 minutes of games, the lowest percentage of any team in the top flight. They have also conceded the lowest proportion of goals in the final 15 minutes this season (also 11%).

Newcastle substitution: James Perch replaces Best.

QPR substitution: Macheda replaces Buzsaky.

QPR struggling to forge much in the way of attacking possession at the moment. Still plenty of time, but as it stands they will end the weekend in the bottom three unless they get on the scoresheet.

Ben Arfa slots the ball through for Best on the elft side of the area. He knocks the ball across goal and somehow QPR scramble it clear!

QPR have picked up points in three matches this season in which they were behind at some stage. They drew 1-1 against Aston Villa and at Swansea City and won 3-2 at Stoke City.

Best lays the ball off Guthrie, whose strikes deflects off a defender. Kenny has to race off his line to clear the ball for a throw. Newcastle take the throw quickly and Gutierrez takes the crowd's instructions to "SHOOT!", but Gabbidon is there to cover for his keeper and heads the attempt clear!

Guthrie and Mackie collide in mid-air. They both appeared to leap in pursuit of the ball but Githrie took a hefty nudge in the back. Play restarts from a drop ball that's sent back to Krul.
