13'
Good defending by Tiote to nick the ball off Campell's toes.
12'
Gouffran with a spectacular failure from range, hammering it high into the stands after beating Mdedel.
11'
Cisse on the left side of the box, cutting inside on to his right but blasting the shot high and wide. Nice passing in the build-up.
10'
Debuchy strides forward but his cross is blocked by Taylor.
9'
Free-kick to Cardiff in their own half. Caulker sends it long but Coloccini heads clear.
8'
Lovely backheel from Cisse but it's just too heavy for Gouffran, who can't quite keep it in.
7'
Cabaye tries to release Remy but Theophile-Catherine gets ahead of him, playing it off his fellow Frenchman for a Cardiff throw.
6'
Santon with a fine crossfield pass to release Cisse, but after a poor first touch the ball bounces wide of goal and the chance is gone.

Almost a howler by Krul as he rushes out to claim at Campbell's feet, drops it but is saved by Campbell's slip. Coloccini guilty of letting a long ball bounce too.
4'
Turner with a vital block as Remy took a cross down with his chest.
3'
Marshall stays calm to gather on the edge of his box as Cisse chased a long ball.
2'
Medel with a cool back header to Marshall. Cardiff are an organised outfit and with Toon in crisis there could be another scalp on the line.

The first half is underway!

Weird to see Mike Williamson starting a game for Toon. The fall of Yanga-Mbiwa has been spectacular to say the least.

14:45
Should he score against his former side, Craig Bellamy will become the first player in the history of the Premier League to score for seven different clubs in the competition.
14:40
Alan Pardew managed an amazing feat this week: bigging his team up by pointing out a comparison with Manchester United: "The group we have got, I think, is a good group. But we are just striving for what most teams are at the start of this Premier League - we are on the same points as Manchester United - we are striving for consistency of performance."
14:35
There are good omens for Newcastle as well, however: the Magpies have won their last six successive meetings with Cardiff City in all competitions. No surprise then that bookies have them at more or less the same price: Cardiff City 16/11, Newcastle 11/5, Draw 12/5
14:30
Cardiff City have lost just three of their 26 home games in league competition since the start of 2012-13 - while Newcastle have won only three of their last 23 away games. Not a good omen for Alan Pardew.
14:25
Big news for Newcastle today is that Yohan Cabaye is back in the starting line-up - but Hatem Ben Arfa has been dropped.
