With the latest in a series of free-kicks, Trippier pumps a long ball into the West Ham box, but his intended target, Burn, is beaten to the ball - the Hammers have held on, surely that's game over?
90' +2
F. Downes enters the game and replaces V. Coufal.
Having played on with a knock for most of the game, Coufal comes off during stoppage time and Downes is his replacement.
90' +1
N. Aguerd gets yellow.
For attempting to delay the latest Newcastle free-kick, Aguerd is shown a yellow card by the referee.
89'
Though Burn rises highest to flick on a Trippier free-kick towards the penalty area, Coufal completes a clearance to keep Newcastle at bay.
87'
The Magpies' pressure is incessant now, as West Ham hang on determinedly for a point. Gordon has been very lively since coming on, and seems to be his new team's best hope of finding a way through.
83'
After Gordon has a shot blocked behind for a corner, Schar heads over the top from the centre of the area following Trippier's set-piece delivery.
81'
D. Ings enters the game and replaces M. Antonio.
E. Anderson enters the game and replaces J. Willock.
J. Murphy enters the game and replaces M. Almirón.
Anderson takes Willock's place for the final 10 minutes or so.
Newcastle respond with a double change. First, Almiron is replaced by Murphy out wide.
Having led the line today, Antonio is now replaced by a different attacking threat posed by goal-poacher Ings.
78'
For all their efforts to shift the ball around quickly, Newcastle are being kept at arm's length by West Ham's diligent defending - the visitors really have stuck to their task without wavering.
74'
T. Souček enters the game and replaces Lucas Paquetá.
Pablo Fornals enters the game and replaces S. Benrahma.
Benrahma also makes way, as Fornals is offered a cameo for the final few minutes.
Moyes can perhaps sense his team tiring, so Soucek comes on to replace Paqueta in midfield.
Minute
Description
73'
West Ham finally clear their lines after an attempted give-and-go between Gordon and Joelinton almost cracks the away side open, setting up a minute-long spell of sustained pressure.
71'
Benrahma tries a low throughball, but Antonio is caught offside - this game remains very much in the balance.
69'
A. Gordon enters the game and replaces A. Saint-Maximin.
A frustrating shift for Saint-Maximin comes to an early end, as Gordon is roared on to the pitch for his Newcastle United debut.
68'
Saint-Maximin opens his box of tricks on the left side of the area, but as he attempts to shimmy and jink past Coufal, the Czech defender puts in a perfectly-timed challenge to nick the ball away from him.
66'
Several substitutes are readying themselves for action on the sidelines, with both Ings and Gordon looking particularly animated. Surely it won't be long before they make an appearance.
64'
Using all his experience, Emerson shepherds the ball out by using Almiron's shins as a backboard, having been in some trouble near the left byline. The Hammers still hold firm.
62'
Howe looks on pensively from the touchline as his side still fail to wrestle back control of a game they once led. In fairness to Newcastle, their opponents have been very well organised since going behind.
60'
With Wilson poised to plant a header at goal from six yards out, Aguerd intervenes with a timely leap and turns the ball away to relative safety - that's excellent defending.
59'
Antonio tries to send Benrahma clear on the break with a hooked pass from the halfway line, but Trippier is alert to the danger and covers across from right-back just in time.
57'
Joelinton gets yellow.
Having toppled over in the penalty area, Joelinton claims the nearby Aguerd tripped him. There was no such contact, though, and the Brazilian is justly booked.
55'
West Ham continue to move the ball about positively, and it is the away side that look most likely to create something in the early stages of this second half.
53'
Bowen escapes a booking for shoving away Saint-Maximin's challenge with an outstretched palm to the French winger's face. Seconds later, Coufal blocks Saint-Maximin's hurried shot from the left side of the area at close range.
51'
Driving at the Newcastle defence full tilt, Emerson progresses into the final third before Joelinton commits another foul and gives West Ham a free-kick.
50'
Both Bowen and Coufal are not moving with full freedom at the moment, and injury could cause one or either to be withdrawn sooner or later.
48'
Paqueta is felled by his fellow Brazilian, Joelinton. After flicking the ball up over his own head, the former is clipped by the latter and is awarded a free-kick out on the right flank.
46'
B. Johnson enters the game and replaces T. Kehrer.
The visitors have made a half-time change at the back, as Kehrer makes way for Johnson.
West Ham kick off and we are back under way at St James' Park!
45' +3
HALF-TIME: NEWCASTLE UNITED 1-1 WEST HAM UNITED
45'
J. Willock gets yellow.
A desperate lunge on a fast-escaping Paqueta earns Willock the first booking of the game and concedes a free-kick 30 yards out from goal.
42'
Burn badly overhits a cross from the left, which allows Fabianski to claim the ball unchallenged on the edge of his six-yard box.
40'
A typical Saint-Maximin surge own the left gets the home fans out of their seats for a second, but his misplaced cutback stalls Newcastle's attacking momentum. Can they find a way to go back in front before the break?
38'
Longstaff tries to catch out Fabianski with a cheeky chip from near the right touchline, but the veteran goalkeeper is alert enough to scramble back and pluck the ball out of the sky just in front of his goal-line!
36'
Cutting in from the left, sending Newcastle's defenders hurtling back towards their area, Benrahma reaches the edge of the box before scuffing a low shot well wide of the left-hand post.
32'
Lucas Paquetá has scored a goal for West Ham United!
WEST HAM PULL LEVEL! Having earned the corner himself, Paqueta takes advantage of some static defending in the box to react first and turn the ball past Pope from close range. It was Rice's inswinging set-piece that caused such chaos in the Newcastle defence: 1-1 at St James' Park!
30'
Benrahma is back on the ball inside the hosts' final third, but having skipped by Trippier with a fleet-footed surge, his claims for a free-kick are ignored by the referee and the game goes on.
28'
At the end of a flowing one-touch move from right to left, Benrahma takes Rice's pass in his stride but flashes a 20-yard shot well over Pope's crossbar. The Newcastle goalkeeper has had very little to do as yet.
26'
The visitors are forced back into their defensive third again, as Newcastle carefully build attacking momentum - but without much sign of incision.
22'
With an over-eager challenge inside Newcastle's half, Emerson trips Trippier and the England defender gladly takes the invitation - toppling to the turf and taking a free-kick.
19'
Wilson's miscontrol of a dropping ball into the box lets in Ogbonna, who rather fortunately bundles the ball away to safety rather than making inadvertent contact with his arm.
17'
A medical assessment clear Botman to resume his duties at the heart of Newcastle's defence, as the action resumes.
13'
Antonio gets his first sniff of the ball, isolated in the opposition area, but a loose touch allows the well-placed Schar to nip in and clip the ball away to safety.
11'
A wickedly dipping cross from the inside-right position by Willock is glanced away by Ogbonna's head just as Wilson seems set to make contact near the penalty spot. West Ham then manage to get the ball clear.
9'
Newcastle's rapid start has allowed them to slow the tempo over the following minutes, and they are now patiently probing just outside West Ham's area. Given their excellent defensive record, they will already be confident of defending this lead.
7'
Having regained their bearings following an awful start, West Ham now rotate the ball around the centre of the pitch, with Newcastle happy to drop off a little.
3'
C. Wilson has scored a goal for Newcastle United! Assist by S. Longstaff.
Profiting from some confusion in the West Ham midfield, Longstaff quickly threads a ball through the centre for Wilson to take on and score the opening goal.
NEWCASTLE LEAD! Now, the hosts have a goal which will stand! Some slack defending just inside the West Ham half allows Longstaff to pick out a low pass for Wilson, who races clear of the defence and slots the ball into the bottom-left corner!
1'
The hosts kick off, and we are under way in Newcastle!
Hello and welcome to live coverage of today's Premier League clash between Newcastle United and West Ham United at St James' Park!
Still placed in the Premier League's top four following earlier results, this week Newcastle United continued their superb season by reaching a major final for the first time since 1999. A 3-1 aggregate victory over Southampton in the EFL Cup semi-finals will send the Magpies to Wembley, and they are now unbeaten in 15 home matches since last April. Eddie Howe's men have also kept a league-high 12 clean sheets this term and have not conceded a single goal throughout their last six top-flight fixtures.
Today seeking back-to-back league wins for just the second time this season, West Ham United remain perilously close to the relegation zone despite ending a seven-game winless run in the Premier League against Everton last week. The Hammers then eliminated League One side Derby County by the same 2-0 scoreline in the FA Cup fourth round. In recent weeks, David Moyes' men have enjoyed something of a revival, after winning three and drawing one of their last five outings all told.
NEWCASTLE UNITED (4-3-3): Nick Pope; Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn; Sean Longstaff, Joe Willock, Joelinton; Miguel Almiron, Callum Wilson, Alain Saint-Maximin.
SUBS: Martin Dubravka, Elliot Anderson, Anthony Gordon, Ryan Fraser, Jamaal Lascelles, Paul Dummett, Jacob Murphy, Jamal Lewis, Matt Ritchie.
WEST HAM UNITED (3-4-2-1): Lukasz Fabianski; Thilo Kehrer, Angelo Ogbonna, Nayef Aguerd; Vladimir Coufal, Declan Rice, Lucas Paqueta, Emerson Palmieri; Jarrod Bowen, Said Benrahma; Michail Antonio.
SUBS: Kristjan Hegyi, Aaron Cresswell, Joseph Anang, Danny Ings, Manuel Lanzini, Tomas Soucek, Pablo Fornals, Flynn Downes, Ben Johnson.
The players are out on the pitch at a packed St James' Park, and with black-and-white flags flying high all around the stands, kick-off is now just moments away!
While Newcastle had 66 per cent of the possession during the final 15 minutes of the half, West Ham have attempted the last six shots on goal. The Hammers were certainly the more threatening side during that spell, but can they continue in such a vein after the interval?
That's all from St James' Park today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!
Newcastle will meet Bournemouth and Liverpool in the coming fortnight, before tackling EFL Cup final opponents Manchester United at Wembley. Meanwhile, West Ham's survival struggle continues at home to London rivals Chelsea next week.
