Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of today's Premier League clash between Newcastle United and West Ham, as both managers face their former clubs. Kick-off at 3pm UK time.

Heavy landing for a West Ham player, Reid I think... Seemed to jar his knee while hiting the deck.

Anita loses control of the ball and Diame robs him, rampaging forward before Anita tracks back - Williamson over-commits with a slide tackle, almost sending Anita flying too, and eventually Diame stumbles and Krul claims.

WEST HAM SUB: Benayoun comes off for O'Neil, tactical it seems as he didn't suffer too much from the Jonas collision.

A long ball / shot from Cabaye is easy for Jaaskelainen. Now Ben Arfa feeds Ba cutting in from the left, but he drills a low shot wide of the far post.

Jonas Gutierrez has been taken to hospital fo a scan on his knee. Surely just heavy bruising?

Another fine corner sent in by Cabaye, Williamson flying in but putting it wide, possibly off his back.

Looking at the replay it is impossible to tell if that was over the line. So, given the lack of technology, that is a good decision.

GOAL-LINE DRAMA! Ba rose with a fantastic effort that Jaaskelainen clawed off the line, but did it go in? Hard to tell!

Ferguson on the left puts in another decent floated cross but half-cleared as far as Santon. Ameobi is on the pitch now - not sure who for. Cisse I am told. Yup, Cisse.

The second half is underway at St James' Park.

What did you make of that half? Not a lot, in my case. Newcastle poor, West Ham lead almost by default.

Half-time and West Ham lead 1-0 through Kevin Nolan's goal against his former club. Not a great deal else to write home about.

Roars for a penalty as Taylor is blocked off by Reid, the ball is launched back in Carroll almost miskicks it in but West Ham survive!

SIDE NETTING! Half the ground thought that was in as Ben Arfa's shimmy and shot took a huge deflection off Reid, beating Jaaskelainen and nestling in the net, but the wrong side!

Cabaye's free-kick is met by Williamson but Diame can clear. Another long ball is lofted in for Williamson as four minutes of added time are signalled.

Noble reacts with shock after he is booked for a late slide on Ben Arfa. He says there was no contact but it was wild and late.

Long ball from Cabaye shaves the head Cisse but it flies into the arms of Jaaskelainen. Ba was also involved.

Williamson rises to head down the corner but no-one moves to meet the knock-down and Jaaskelainen claims unguarded.

Somehow Newcastle don't score as Ferguson's goal-bound shot rattles off the back of O'Brien, behind for a corner.

Ben Arfa weaves in and out of McCartney but - when he should have played in the cross - he decides to beat him again and ends up settling for a corner.

Nolan should have made it two after being played through by Diame, but a heavy first touch allows the defenders to close in and - off balace - he skews the finish well wide.
