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

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

Caulker gets a head on Whittingham’s free kick but he can’t direct it on target. Better.

SHOTS: Newcastle 6-4 Cardiff

It opens up for Tiote but he fires wide. Should have done better.

Ball over the top from Mutch just slightly overhit for Zaha as Krul comes out well. Good spell for Cardiff.

More bad news for Cardiff fans as Sunderland go 1-0 up at Old Trafford.

Sissoko’s deflected cross hits the back of the post and away for a corner.

Another chance for Zaha, he’s through on goal but Debuchy gets back with a wonderful challenge as he’s about to pull the trigger.

Zaha should score! He wriggles into the box, turning Debuchy inside out but it’s a great save by Krul with an outstretched leg.

Craig Bellamy warming up in front of the Newcastle fans, surprisingly to a few boos. Poor ball from Coloccini straight through to marshall.

STAT: Cardiff have scored only nine first half goals in the Premier League this season. By far the fewest.

The ball comes through to Kim and it’s a great challenge by Debuchy to put him off his shot at goal.

Cardiff just can’t keep hold of the ball. If they concede another this could get embarrassing.

STAT: Shola Ameobi has scored in successive PL home apps for the first time since October 2010, when he netted in the 2-2 draw v Wigan and twice in the 5-1 win v Sunderland.

Cardiff really are lucky not to be totally out of the match already.

Shot from Sissoko deflects off the post! Cardiff all over the place.

Only two away wins for Cardiff all season. Looks like staying that way.

SHOTS: Newcastle 4-1 Cardiff

Well that goal really was coming but where was the marking? Tall order for Cardiff now. Newcastle force another corner.

GOAL Newcastle! It’s disaster for Cardiff as Ameobi scores with a free header from Sissoko’s cross.
