FULL-TIME
Manchester City return to winning ways after their 1-1 draw with Wolves, Kyle Walker's first goal proving the difference - and what a strike it was. The score-line doesn't reflect the home side's dominance.
90'
There will be THREE minutes of additional time.

MAN CITY SUB: David Silva is replaced by Vincent Kompany for the remainder.
88'
CHANCE!
Yedlin dances his way into the City penalty area, and it falls for Joselu who should do better, he can only shoot straight at Ederson. Is that Newcastle's last opportunity to nick a point?
85'
Into the final five minutes and one has to wonder how City are not out of sight yet. Have they missed Leroy Sane?
84'
Atsu works the ball to Murphy on the left channel but his cross is scrambled away by the hosts.
83'
'Get out of our club' is the chants from the visiting fans, as their side prepare to take another defeat. As it stands, Newcastle will remain in the bottom three, without a win in four games.

There is plenty of pace on the corner delivery, Stones can't quite make a connection with his header, it almost falls for Bernardo Silva before Dubravka smothers the ball.

Dummett makes a crucial defensive header to clear Gundogan's whipped free-kick. City have a corner now.

MAN CITY SUB: Ilkay Gundogan comes on for Mahrez who leaves to a rousing reception. The playmaker hasn't been great today, in all honesty, though it will take some time for him to adjust to City's formation.

NEWCASTLE SUB: Rondon, in that isolated striker's position, has been excellent for the visitors but now he's coming off. Joselu takes his place.
72'
With less than 20 minutes to play and a goal ahead, City remain in complete control of this contest. They have had an astonishing 78 per cent of possession this evening.
70'
CHANCE!
Lovely inter-change from Silva and Aguero to set up Sterling who slices his effort wide. Actually, it may have hit Atsu last. The referee Kevin Friend doesn't spot the deflection and signals for a Newcastle goal-kick.
68'
CHANCE!
City almost put the game to bed. Mahrez's cross catches Dubravka in no-man's-land but Silva can't take advantage, heading into the side-netting from an acute angle.
66'
A TRIPLE SAVE!
Not once, twice but three times Dubravka comes to Newcastle's rescue! First he saves from Fernandinho, then he gathers himself to block Silva's rebound before making denying the Spaniard once more.
63'
Mendy, on the opposite flank, is also finding space, and he delivers a devilish cross just now which just evades Aguero and Sterling. Newcastle clear.
61'
Walker is proving a real outlet for City in the second-half.
