Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Premier League clash between Newcastle and Manchester City at St James' Park. If you cast your mind back to January 29 earlier this year, you'll remember how Pep Guardiola's side threw a one-goal lead away and suffered defeat at this ground as they lost further ground to Liverpool in the title race. Of course, they went on an incredible run, winning their last 14 games to take the crown. Guardiola's men are currently nine points behind The Reds and has warned his players that one more loss would see them surrender the league.

GOAAAAALLLLL! Newcastle 1-2 Man City: De Bruyne has potentially won the game for City with a really special goal! Just when the defending champions needed something, the Belgian delivers an unbelievable strike, chesting the ball down on the edge of the box and volleying it off the bar and in.

Saint-Maximin is caught by Ederson. Newcastle fans are pleading for a foul, convinced by the flying flanker's theatrical reaction of at least five rolls.

Block! More desperate defending from Newcastle as Clark makes a crucial block to deny De Bruyne's fierce effort.

Liverpool could be ELEVEN points adrift of City if this match ends in a draw and The Reds beat Brighton as expected in the 3pm kick-off.

City are playing with more urgency now, the substitutes have already been an impact. They have 15 minutes to find a winner and close the gap to Liverpool to six points.

Double save! St James' Park falls silent as Jesus is played through one-on-one with the goalkeeper but Dubravka makes himself big to deny the Brazilian. And then De Bryune hits the rebound straight at the Newcastle goalkeeper!
67'
De Bruyne is trying his best to inspire City here. He makes another clever run to the by-line but his final ball is normally better than this, as his cross is pushed clear by Dubravka.
