Hello and welcome to LIVE text commentary of the Premier League clash between Newcastle United and Manchester United. The visitors can move level with fourth-placed Tottenham and ease some of the pressure on manager, Louis Van Gaal with a victory, but know it won't be easy against a team that tends to raise themselves for the big boys. The Magpies may have lost their last four matches, but can point to December wins over Liverpool and Tottenham as proof that they are capable of beating anyone on their day. Kick off 7.45 pm GMT.

36'
Darmian lets fly from distance but the ironic cheers from the crowd say enough about how close it was...
35'
Fellaini's tackling may be a bit suspect here, but his passing has been very accurate so far.
34'
Tiote booked for a hack on the back of Herrera's leg. The referee initially allowed play to continue but followed up the nasty challenge when Lingard ran it out of play on the left.
33'
32'
PENALTY SHOUT! Janmaat bursts onto a loose ball on the right of the Man United area and goes down under a challenge from Lingard. It was clumsy and looked like it should have been a penalty. Newcastle feeling frustrated so far by the big decisions.
31'
Fellaini a bit of a hero and villain so far tonight.
30'
De Gea punches the left-wing delivery up into the air. It's not spot on but it does the job and United eventually complete the clearance.
29'
Herrera booked for bringing down Wijnaldum on the left flank.
28'
Great save! De Gea blocks with his left leg but Wijnaldum should have scored after Perez put it on a plate for him eight yards out.
27'
BIG MISS. Jesse Lingard slips a lovely pass through for Rooney into the right side of the area, but the England captain drags his low shot agonisingly wide of the far post.
26'
VIDEO: Replay of the penalty incident.
25'
Fellaini booked after yet another silly challenge. The Belgian kicked out needlessly after his shot from the left-wing corner had been brilliantly blocked.
24'
Young feeds Herrera on the right of the area but the Spaniard's cross deflects out for a corner. Looked like a slight touch off the hand too....
23'
Mitrovic collapses in the Man Utd box under minimal contact from Blind. The visitors move it clear once more.
22'
Fellaini trips Colback. It could easily be a yellow card but the referee refuses to dish out a booking. Newcastle supporters fume once more!
20'
A chance to cross for Daryl Janmaat from the right but it's far too deep. wasted opening for the hosts.
19'
UPDATE: Bournemouth 1-0 West Ham. Harry Arter.
18'
More debate re. the spot kick...
17'
Martial gets to the right byline but can't pick out Rooney with the cutback. Coloccini hacks it to safety.
