LIVE – Updated at 12:36

Minute-by-minute report: Will West Ham halt the Newcastle resurgence and climb back into the top four? Find out with Scott Murray.

5 min: Krafth sends a long throw into the West Ham box from the right. The whistle goes. Foul throw. The pressure on the hosts finally released.

4 min: Nothing comes of the second corner, but this is a confident start by Newcastle. West Ham are still cold.

3 min: A free kick for the Toon out on the right. Schar hoicks a long diagonal ball into the West Ham box. It drops to Joelinton, on the corner of the six-yard box. West Ham snoozing. Joelinton goes for goal. Fabianski blocks out for a corner, and a game of pinball breaks out. Murphy has a dig. Blocked. The ball twangs over the bar for another corner.

2 min: Newcastle get on the ball quickly, and stroke it around awhile. The confidence of a team on a three-win tear-up.

West Ham get the ball rolling ... but only after everyone takes the knee. There’s no room for racism.

We’ll be off in a couple of minutes!
