90+3'
AND THAT’S IT! A first win this season for Newcastle and relief for Alan Pardew and the home support. Worth waiting an hour, then. FULL TIME: Newcastle 1-0 Leicester.
90+2'
Perez fouled by Konchesky on the right of the box. Great chance to run down the clock.
90+1'
A poor ball into the box from Drinkwater, easily claimed by Krul. Newcastle sub: Gouffran off for Cabella.
90'
We have three added minutes here.
89'
Poor ball in from Konchesky, caught by Krul. More time ebbs away...
88'
Not De Laet heads behind for another Newcastle corner. More winding down of the clock. Gouffran crosses, Perez heads into Schmeichel’s hands.
87'
Shot from Perez deflected wide for a corner. This will eat up some more time....
86'
Well the home side have had enough chances to wrap this match up far more easily. And they’re not home yet.
85'
CHANCE CISSE! Good work from Perez and he whips in a cross right onto Cisse’s head. But he heads it into the ground when it’s surely easier to score.
84'
Newcastle just over five minutes away from what would be a massive win but Leicester not done yet.
83'
Shot from Sissoko straight at Schmeichel. End to end stuff at the moment.
82'
De Laet wins Leicester a corner. Nerve jangling moments for Newcastle fans. Krul saves Drinkwater’s shot and James' follow-up deflected wide!
81'
Poor ball from Nugent and Ulloa is offside. With Coloccini pushing up, that was a good chance to play him in.
80'
Nugent looks for Vardy in the middle but it’s just behind him, otherwise it was a clear chance on goal. Close.
79'
POSSESSION: Newcastle 49%-51% Leicester
78'
Leicester sub: Cambiasso off for Knockaert.
77'
Don’t celebrate yet, Newcastle fans. Newcastle have lost two of the last three PL matches where they have opened the scoring – the 2-1 defeat at Liverpool in May 2014 & 2-1 home defeat v Swansea in April 2014.
76'
Ulloa almost in! A better first touch and he’s in on goal but it cannons off his chest and back to Krul.
75'
Leicester’s clean sheet record away to Newcastle worsens – they have now kept just a single clean sheet in 13 top flight away matches against the Tyneside club.
74'
Dangerous cross from Nugent cleared by Coloccini. Set for an exciting final 15 here.
