Livermore puts a tricky cross in for Robson-Kanu and it runs wide to the left. Newcastle can't create one last counter however; the referee blows for full-time and West Brom keep their Premier League survival hopes alive!

Kenedy clips a cross in for Joselu; Dawson darts in to clear with impressive speed. It's a matter of seconds now for the Baggies.

Rondon wins a free-kick for West Brom 35 yards out on the left; Brunt plays it short to Gibbs and the Baggies try to hold it away from the Newcastle half and any danger of an equaliser.

Kenedy goes from distance, trying his luck from 25 yards out on the left; he pulls it wide at the near post, leaving Foster with a goal-kick.

Joselu! Newcastle should be on level pegging as the substitute fails to bundle in a terrific cross at the far-right post. The Baggies are clutching onto this one-goal lead for dear life right now.

Slimani again lays up a great chance with a header, this one for Joselu; West Brom intercept and Phillips takes it down the right flank away from danger.

Two close efforts from Ritchie see an eventual throw-in on the right for Newcastle; in back-play, unspotted by the officials, Slimani kicks Dawson after the latter appeared to land on the former's foot. Neither are booked and play continues.

Lejeune comes onto a deflected ball 25 yards out and blasts it towards the West Brom goal himself, hooking it well wide to the left in the end.

It has been a fine showing from West Brom who have only had 37 percent of the ball throughout - but as Newcastle come forward through Slimani, they do look to be flagging. They need the full three points; any other result will relegate them.

Shelvey's set-piece effort flies across the box to the left wing, where Kenedy steers it back in; Foster picks it out of the air at the right post and West Brom survive for the moment.

A spell of pressure on the West Brom defence sees Nyom and Dawson combine to stop a header from Lejeune and then the Baggies win a free-kick through Gibbs just inside their own half.

Rodriguez! Oh, that was a perfect set-up again - and once more, the striker can't get a clean strike to the ball. McClean cross flat from the left wing, and finds Phillips who heads down the forward behind Yedlin; the attempted volley is tragically poor in the end and Newcastle clear.

Perez and Kenedy combine with a speedy break down the left flank; the latter's shot in from the edge of the box is cleared by Dawson.

We're back underway at St James' Park; can West Brom hold onto their lead and with it three vital points - or will Newcastle condemn them to Championship life?

Gayle has a chance for the Magpies; his header from a Perez cross in the centre of the box flies left of the goal to leave Foster untroubled.

Foster puts a long ball downfield after West Brom win a defensive free-kick; Rondon steers himself too far forward and is pinged for offside as he collects.

A couple of tired bodies up front for Newcastle; both Perez and Gayle appear to be carrying slight knocks, limping a little. Neither can get close to a plum Ritchie cross in time and Nyom cleans it up.

Off the post from Kenedy! That should have been the goal to level things from Newcastle; The winger flicks a flat inside pass to Perez who delightfully handles it and chips forward a return pass; in trying to tip it round Foster, the Brazilian sticks it into the right side of the woodwork and it trickles out wide.

That's a well-earned goal for the Baggies; the trick now will be keeping their lead intact. No team has dropped as many points from a leading position as West Brom in the 2017-18 campaign; a whopping 26 so far this season.

Great chance for the Baggies! Phillips curls a cut-back in from the right flank under pressure and finds Rodriguez just inside the box; the forward's attempt to volley home is too weak though and Dubravka has no trouble cleaning up his shot.

Rondon tries his luck from just outside the box on the right and sprays it across the face of the goal, his shot drifting out at the far-left post.

Risky from Hegazi! The West Brom defender tries a header back to Foster in goal, and it goes perilously close to being intercepted by Gayle. The keeper gets there first and the Baggies can breathe easy for a moment.

The Magpies play it short and despite their efforts through Kenedy, Phillips and Nyom combine to stall any chance of attack.

It's been an evenly contested affair so far, though Newcastle have had the lion's share of chances. No goals yet, as the hosts get a free-kick on their right flank 45 yards out.

Shelvey flicks a curling pass round for Perez near at the far-left post in the West Brom box; he can't steer it back in and Foster gets the goal-kick instead.

Just the two goals in the last twenty games for Gayle too; both against Bournemouth in a 2-2 draw at the Vitality Stadium in February.

Gayle goes for goal from just outside the box, after a Perez cut-back off a Shelvey cross; the striker half-volleys it into the turf and the ball bounces to Foster.

West Brom turn defensive for a brief spell, spreading the ball wide around the rear as they look to switch up their more direct attacking style of the opening quarter-hour so far.

Rondon is the man who rises to clear and though Gayle comes in for a second chance, the visitors are able to sweep up play in a counter attack. McClean gets away down the left flank; just inside the box, he turns a shot in for the bottom-right corner that runs wide in front of the post and the pursuing Brunt.

No chances inside the opening ten minutes for either side but the Magpies now win a corner as Gibbs is pressured out by Diame.

An early free-kick won by Lascelles after McClean catches him on the back foot inside the Newcastle man's half.

We're underway in the North East as West Brom go in search of Premier League survival! It's the hosts however who press first; they edge down the right through Yedlin and Ritchie before the Baggies check their advance and turn it back to halfway.
