Newcastle vs Manchester City - Premier League LIVE: Latest score, team news and updates as Pep Guardiola's men look to reduce the gap on league leaders Arsenal

Barnes finds Hall on the left and his cross is good and has to be headed away.

BIG SAVE AGAIN! Murphy's cross is really good and Woltemade is all over it. He really should score, but Donnarumma gets down really well.

The best shot stopper in the world, for my money, and showing it there.

Lewis Hall then hits the deck but he's trying to buy a penalty.

Haaland is forced wide now but wins a corner for his side off Livramento. Cherki will take.

The first one is whipped in and the referee blows for a foul, but it can be retaken. The second is headed out for a third by Joelinton.

The third ends with Cherki shooting from distance but Pope gathers.

Really good pressure from Newcastle but they lose it in midfield and Doku plays Haaland. The forward is sprinting in on goal, but Pope has rushed out of his goal too.

The goalkeeper is in no man's land, but Haaland gets it all wrong, shooting up rather than forward, and the ball is recycled.

A chaotic start - both teams should be on the scoresheet!

WOW! It should be 1-0 to Newcastle within 30 seconds!

Donnarumma gets his ball out all wrong and Foden is clattered by Joelinton. The Brazilian gives the ball to Barnes on the edge of the box, but his first-time effort is tame, and Donnarumma recovers well.

A big let-off for the away side.

And we're off!

A huge roar from the home fans as referee Sam Barrott blows his whistle for the first time tonight.

It's the visitors who get us underway.

Right then, here we go.

The players take to the field, led out by Bruno Guimaraes and Bernardo Silva.

It's always some atmosphere at St James' Park. And it's no different today.

And, my word, they need to.

My trusty Apple weather app tells me it's six degrees in Newcastle, but I'm certain it's a lot less. I cannot feel my feet.

Kick off is on the horizon, though!

Micah Richards, former Man City midfielder, speaking on Sky Sports:

As they always do, our friends at Squawka have provided a very nice stat pack previewing today's game.

City are dominant in terms of the head-to-head, while they ae also well in front in terms of all the attacking numbers.

That is very much tipped by Newcastle's away form, though. Again, they are a different beat at home.
