HANDBAGS
Jonathan Hogg is the man at the heart of the controversy today! Kenedy goes down easily under a challenge from the Huddersfield man, who objects strongly. The on-loan Chelsea man gets up and the two men go head-to-head, but the referee quickly comes across to give them both an earful and send them on their way.
86'
Substitution
Scott Malone (on). Rajiv Van la Parra (off). (Huddersfield Town)
86'
FINAL HUDDERSFIELD CHANGE
David Wagner goes back to a more defensive shape, with Scott Malone replacing Rajiv Van la Parra.
83'
Substitution
Steve Mounie (on). Tommy Smith (off). (Huddersfield Town)
83'
ALL OUT ATTACK
David Wagner makes an attacking change, sending on top scorer Steve Mounie for Tommy Smith.
80'
Goal
Ayoze Perez. Assist by Kenedy (Newcastle United)
80'
PRESSURE PAYS OFF
It's been coming and the hosts finally have their goal. Ayoze Perez picks out Christian Atsu wide on the right and he dinks in a cross to the back post, where Jonas Lossl flaps at it. Islam Slimani heads it back to Kenedy, who has the presence of mind to pick out the diving Ayoze Perez for a simple tap-in. Newcastle United 1 - 0 Huddersfield Town.
80'
GOOOOOAAAALLLL
NEWCASTLE TAKE THE LEAD!!!
79'
Substitution
Isaac Hayden (on). Mohamed Diame (off). (Newcastle United)
79'
FINAL CHANGE
As expected, Mohamed Diame limps off for Isaac Hayden. Just over 10 to go.
8'
LIVELY
The game is kicking up a notch already - both Jamaal Lascelles and Aaron Mooy are in the book.
77'
WORRY
Mohamed Diame is limping around and it doesn't look like he will be able to continue. Isaac Hayden is warming up.
75'
Substitution
Islam Slimani (on). Dwight Gayle (off). (Newcastle United)
75'
NEWCASTLE CHANGE
Islam Slimani is on for Dwight Gayle - the home fans are pleased to see something different up front.
72'
SCRAPPY
The ball is now getting bogged down in the midfield. Not much to say.
70'
PRESSING
Both sides are putting together good passing moves to get themselves forward, but the final ball is definitely lacking. I could see this one ending without a goal.
67'
Substitution
Christian Atsu (on). Matt Ritchie (off). (Newcastle United)
67'
NEWCASTLE CHANGE
Matt Ritchie has been a little quiet today, and he is replaced by Christian Atsu. I've watched that Perez chance again and he made the wrong choice - he should have either left it for Gayle or attempted a header.
67'
POOR
DeAndre Yedlin makes a superb overlapping run and sends in a first-time cross, but Ayoze Perez volleys over at the near post with Dwight Gayle lurking behind him. Poor choice.
65'
CLOSE
Aaron Mooy swings in a corner from the right and Mathias Jorgensen meets it with a diving header, only for Collin Quaner to get in the way and prevent it from hitting the target. Huddersfield have been beter in this second period.
63'
CHANGES NEEDED
I think we need some more changes to make a difference in this game - it's a bit of a stalemate at the moment.
61'
BOOKING
Christopher Schindler concedes a throw in and kicks the ball away to prevent it being taken quickly. Quite rightly he ends up in the book.
60'
Yellow Card
Christopher Schindler (Huddersfield Town)
59'
EFFORT
A Huddersfield break ends in frustration when Laurent Depoitre does well to hold the ball up and turn, before firing a low shot wide of the post.
56'
Substitution
Collin Quaner (on). Elias Kachunga (off). (Huddersfield Town)
56'
HUDDERSFIELD CHANGE
Elias Kachunga has tried to continue, but his ankle is letting him down. Collin Quaner, Huddersfield's top assist provider of the season, is on in his place.
90'
FULL TIME
St James' Park erupts as the final whistle goes. Newcastle have a valuable three points thanks to Ayoze Perez's late goal - which you have to say, they deserved on the balance of play in a highly entertaining game. The hosts are now seven points clear of the relegation zone with Huddersfield just three points outside of the danger area. The Premier League really is one of the best in the world sometimes. Newcastle United 1 - 0 Huddersfield Town.
90'
CLASH
Huddersfield really want a point here - Alex Pritchard sends a bouncing ball into the box where Martin Dubravka and Scott Malone both throw themselves at it. The Newcastle goalkeeper has the decision go in his favour, somewhat fortunately.
90'
PRESSURE
This one isn't over yet - Huddersfield are throwing everyone forward and Collin Quaner is inches away from getting a toe on a loose ball.
90'
ADDED TIME
Jeers ring around the stadium as an extra five minutes are added on.
44'
OUCH
Jamaal Lascelles is caught, accidentally in my opinion, by Laurent Depoitre. The play is stopped for Lascelles to receive treatment but Depoitre escapes a booking.
42'
ANOTHER EFFORT
Dwight Gayle is getting closer and closer. DeAndre Yedlin fires a low ball into the box and Gayle beats his marker to get to it first, but his backheel rolls away from danger.
40'
APPEAL
Kenedy tries one too many stepovers in the box and goes down theatrically - he wants a penalty but the referee gives him a firm 'no'.
38'
END TO END
Both teams are not shy in coming forward. We haven't had a chance for a couple of minutes, but that doesn't mean the action hasn't been exciting.
33'
ANOTHER CHANCE
What was I saying? Newcastle break through DeAndre Yedlin down the right and his bouncing ball catches Dwight Gayle in the midriff before the striker volleys over. Another good chance.
32'
NOT MUCH TO REPORT
It's settled down in the last couple of minutes - Newcastle look like they are saving their energy ready for another wave of attack.
29'
SO CLOSE!
Newcastle really should be ahead! Jonathan Hogg goes in the book for another niggly challenge and Jonjo Shelvey takes the free kick quickly, picking out Dwight Gayle with perfection. The striker has the time and presence of mind to chip it over Jonas Lossl, only for it to sail inches past the post. So, so close.
28'
Yellow Card
Jonathan Hogg (Huddersfield Town)
4'
ATMOSPHERE
St James' Park is, as usual, a noisy place to be this afternoon. I think both sets of fans know how important three points could prove to be today.
85'
NICE TRY
After a delay, Jonjo Shelvey steps up to take the free kick, only to blast it over the bar.
84'
Yellow Card
Collin Quaner (Huddersfield Town)
84'
BOOKING
Collin Quaner throws his full body weight into a tackle, flattening Islam Slimani, and getting a yellow card.
8'
Yellow Card
Jamaal Lascelles (Newcastle United)
6'
Yellow Card
Aaron Mooy (Huddersfield Town)
54'
FRUSTRATED
The home fans are starting to get frustrated - they want their side to find a way through but Huddersfield are holding firm.
52'
TREATMENT
Elias Kachunga is eventually able to walk off the field, and he is receiving treatment on the sidelines. If it were me I wouldn't risk trying to get back on - but maybe that's why I'm not a professional footballer!
50'
OUCH
Elias Kachunga has been in the wars so far in this half, and it looks as if his half is over as he is sent flying by a very rough challenge from Kenedy.
46'
END TO END
Huddersfield break forward from the kick off before Elias Kachunga is robbed on the edge of the box, which leads to Jonjo Shelvey having a clear chance from the edge of the box which he scuffs wide.
46'
KICK OFF
Huddersfield start the second period.
45'
ADDED TIME
One minute is added on.
45'
HALF TIME
That's it for the first period. Newcastle have been the better side and have had more chances - Dwight Gayle in particular has been lively, but they find themselves level. Newcastle United 0 - 0 Huddersfield Town.
27'
HANDBAGS
Jonjo Shelvey and Jonathan Hogg have clashed a couple of times in the last few minutes, with an elbow being alleged by Hogg. He gets his revenge by running straight into the back of Shelvey, earning himself a talking to.
26'
POOR
Jonjo Shelvey releases Dwight Gayle who races away down the left, but his eventual shot is poor and Jonas Lossl gathers easily.
25'
STYLE
Newcastle seem to have noticed a weakness in Huddersfield and are playing every ball with pace and power - the visiting defence don't seem to be coping.
22'
PRESSURE
21 players are inside the Huddersfield half at the moment - the visitors are really pegged back.
20'
UNSURE
Jonjo Shelvey swings a ball into the box and Christopher Schindler mistimes his header, nearly letting Ayoze Perez in for a simple chance, but Mathias Jorgensen recovers well.
18'
FRANTIC
Both sides look desperate to score here - and can you blame them? This is a real blood-and-thunder affair.
16'
GREAT STOP
Newcastle are turning the screw here. Florian Lejeune fires a ball into the box and the visiting defence struggle to clear - Matt Ritchie dances his way through and forces a good stop from Jonas Lossl at the expense of a corner.
15'
CLOSE!
Matt Ritchie swings a cross into the box and following some head tennis, it drops to Jonjo Shelvey in his usual position on the edge of the area. He hits it low and hard, but it rolls inches wide of the post. Good chance.
14'
GOAL-SHY
The visitors will be hoping for a goal from anyone or anywhere today - they haven't scored in March and this is their last chance to do so.
11'
LONG BALLS
Both teams are already reverting to long ball tactics for their quick wide men to chase. It could be quite a long afternoon.
2'
POOR
Rajiv Van la Parra races away down the left and it takes not one, but two shoves from DeAndre Yedlin to send him to the ground. Silly from the Newcastle defender.
1'
KICK OFF
We are underway here in the North East.

FORM GUIDE
Just one point and two places separate these two in the table, with Newcastle in 13th and Huddersfield 15th. They are, however, just four and three points above the relegation zone respectively - meaning that Huddersfield could end the day in the drop zone. Newcastle have lost just one in their last five league games, winning two and drawing two, compared to their visitors who have won two, drawn one and lost two.

HUDDERSFIELD TEAM NEWS
Huddersfield were beaten by relegation rivals Crystal Palace in their last game, and David Wagner has used that as an excuse to make changes. Tommy Smith and Terence Kongolo come into the defence, with Rajiv Van la Parra replacing Collin Quaner in the midfield. Elias Kachunga and Laurent Depoitre replace Steve Mounie and Tom Ince in the attacking slots.

NEWCASTLE TEAM NEWS
The Magpies have had three weeks without football since their victory over Southampton, and it's no surprise that Rafa Benitez has stuck with the same team that secured that win.

PREVIEW
Hello and welcome to today's game between Newcastle United and Huddersfield Town. With the season firmly entering the final straight with less than a quarter of the games to go, every point is worth fighting for. This may not be one of the most glamorous ties of the weekend, but it is arguably one of the most important. My name is Peter Moloney and I will be your commentator today.
