Hello and welcome to live coverage of Newcastle v Crystal Palace.

Shelvey finds Mitrovic, who returns the ball into his path. He lunges and flicks it to Townsend, who is tackled, too tired to continue. That doesn't matter though, it's full time. 1-0 to Newcastle, a hard fought victory, and they're now one point ahead of Sunderland.

Perez drives towards goal, and instead of going to the corner he drives towards goal and is tackled. Delaney and Perez down as Palace attack, and Darlow runs out to claim the ball to huge cheers. A minute left.

Newcastle are sitting deep now as they try to hold on. Sunderland have equalised at Stoke.

Darlow races off the line as Adeyabor chases a ball, and slaps the ball against the striker to win a goal kick. He's had a decent game.

There will be five minutes of added time.

Newcastle take it short, and are quickly tackled. There are hints there will be five minutes of added time.

Shelvey replaces Antia. Sissoko has gone to right back. Delaney comes in to cover against Perez to concede a corner on the left.

Anita is limping off for treatment.

Delaney and Mitrovic are both instructed to calm it by the ref. It's edifying stuff.

A little over five minutes left.

Perez on for Wijnaldum.

Palace win a corner on the right wing. Sako chips it in and it's headed away.

Bolasie gets shoved owner in the corner by Bolasie as he shepherds the ball out.

No hint that those changes have made a difference yet.

Adebayor on for Wickham. Gayle on for Puncheon.

Mitrovic on for Cisse. Jedinak is currently down getting treatment.

Darlow brings down a corner from the left at full stretch, and brings a massive save from the crowd.

SAVED! Cabaye sends in a poor penalty, near the keeper and an easy height, making for an easy save.

PENALTY! Cabaye takes a corner from the left, Dann heads it on to Wickham, and but Sissoko had flicked it with his left arm, and the ref is correct.

Mbmemba lunges at a Sako cross to cut it out for corner.
