Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE coverage of West Brom v Newcastle from the Hawthorns. Team news, talking points and more on the way for you shortly.

Very little in this game at the moment. Few chances at either end.

Abeid has a wild, wild shot, which sails towards the corner flag and narrowly avoids going out for a throw-in.

Better from Newcastle as Cabella and Perez link up. Janmaat is felled on the edge of the box and all in Newcastle colours are bemused when the referee waves play on.

Dorrans goes down at the near post claiming a push from Ameobi. It's the softest of soft touches, though, and never a penalty.

Anichebe is proving to be a useful outlet up front today. He plants his backside into Dummett, leans back and forces his way back towards goal. It's vintage Anichebe and he wins a corner.

Another Newcastle attack breaks down before they enter the final third and West Brom break through Anichebe. Coloccini is quickly across, though, with a slide-tackle that was much better-timed than Anichebe's.

Coloccini is sold short and Anichebe rushes in with a slide tackle, completely taking out the Argentine. It's comical stuff, and the striker is lucky to escape without a caution.

Anichebe and Sessegnon link up again, the former using his strength to make room for a shot, but Dummett is there to block.

Posession: 50% 50%. It's dead even, with few chances here. That Berahino shot the only time a keeper as been properly called into action.

Darly Janmaat produces a woeful through ball which trickles out for a goal kick. Little invention so far from the visitors.

Anichebe races to close down Tim Krul but the keeper manages to hack a clearance away.

More applause in tribute to John Alder and Liam Sweeney, who died aboard flight MH17 and also for Jonas Gutierrez, who received the all-clear this week.

First real chance for West Brom as Victor Anichebe lays the ball off to Berahino on the edge of the box and the striker's effort is tipped over the bar.

Mulumbu gets to the by-line down the right and stands a cross up but no one's there to meet it.

Off the bar! The applause is put on hold for a moment as Sissoko hits the bar with a beautiful effort on the half-volley. Very unlucky.

Sammy Ameobi shows some silky skills to draw another clumsy foul from West Brom.

The free-kick is swung in and Paul Dummett is there to meet it at the back post, but he sends his header over the bar.
