55'
TRIPPIER LOFTS ONE IN
It's a dangerous ball to the back post, where Castagne loops around the back to head clear. This feels like a matter of time, as Newcastle then win anothr corner.
53'
LONGSTAFF SHOOTS
He crafts himself a few yards of space on the edge, and throws his arm out to hit the big one. Faes rushes out to challenge him, and Longstaff drags his shot many metres wide.
51'
ALL NEWCASTLE
The As It Stands table flashes up. This point will confirm Newcastle in the Champions League spots if it holds, and they're knocking it about purposefully not desperately. Leicester can't get out here.
49'
CORNER TO NEWCASTLE
They play it to the edge of the D, where Almiron is waiting to unload. The shot is charged down by Tielemans, and Newcastle want a penalty but you'll not be seeing one for that. It cracked his elbow but it was tucked in.

CHANGE FOR LEICESTER
Maddison is on for Iheanacho - who I think might've had a knock, but the change also makes tactical sense.

TRIPPER SWERVES IN A FINE CROSS THAT YIELDS A CORNER
Trippier swerves in a fine corner, Iversen gets nowhere near it, and Wilson shoots over. Newcastle are creating now.
44'
ANDY HINCHCLIFFE THINKS ALMIRON SHOULD'VE SCORED THERE
But went for power not accuracy. I thought he just strode onto it in a way so sweet it was almost impossible not to do it because it was a totally clean connection. But I know nothing.

NEWCASTLE ARE COMING NOW!
Schaer wins a header from a good clip over the top, Almiron arrives onto it beautifully and slams into the post, then Isak curls high!

GOODNESS ME!
Iversen tries to catch a ball he has to punch - on the goalline but outside the width of the posts. Wilson shoots, it's hacked off the line, Wilson heads, it's hacked off the line.
39'
IF A TEAM DEFENDS DEEP, IN NUMBERS
And is organised, a bit of focus and discipline and it can be hard to break down.
38'
GUIMARAES CROSSES TO THE BACK POST
Where Almiron gets the ball back in. But again, Leicester defend well, Soutar heading away.
37'
IF LEICESTER HAD DEFENDED WITH THIS DISCIPLINE MORE OFTEN
They might not be in this mess.
35'
TRIPPIER CROSSES FROM THE RIGHT
But Faes heads away and Castagne clips over the top for Iheanacho. He misses his controlling touch, though, and Shar clears up ahead of Vardy. .
34'
ANDERSON FINDS ISAK
Who whips in a cross, but Evans is there at the front post to turn away. He's marshalling his troops well here.
33'
IF LEICESTER GET A POINT HERE
Everton will need to beat Bournemouth to be sure of staying up. If they draw and Leicester beat Spurs at home, Leicester would stay up. If they get a point here, which is a very big if.
31'
BURN STEPS FORWARD
OK, strides, Dan Burn doesn't step. And here, he thunks a shot into the nearest the body then Vardy runs into a blind alley, then Newcastle build again.
29'
ISAK'S OFF BUT HAVING A SHIN STRAPPED
I guess he's going to keep going, and here he is.
