GAME OVER
The final whistle goes and nobody will be sorry to see this one come to an end. West Brom's great run under Darren Moore continues but there is surely no chance that they will actually stay up - is there? Thanks for joining us.
90'
DREADFUL
It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that this game has been dreadful, from a neutral point of view. West Brom will be delighted with the result but it is surely too little too late for the Midlands side.
90'
Substitution
Hal Robson-Kanu (on). Salomon Rondon (off). (West Bromwich Albion)
90'
Substitution
Jonny Evans (on). James McClean (off). (West Bromwich Albion)
86'
MISS
A delightful cross finds Joselu at the back post but the Spanish striker can't guide his header on target and West Brom escape.
82'
Yellow Card
James McClean (West Bromwich Albion)
82'
KICK
Islam Slimani is extremely lucky to escape punishment after aiming a petulant kick at Dawson. Neither the referee or his linesman seemed to see it, as had they, they would surely have given the Algerian his marching orders.
78'
Substitution
Joselu (on). Ayoze Perez (off). (Newcastle United)
78'
SUB
Grzegorz Krychowiak is on for Jay Rodriguez. Another customarily hard-working performance from the frontman today.
77'
Substitution
Grzegorz Krychowiak (on). Jay Rodriguez (off). (West Bromwich Albion)
73'
DREADFUL
Matt Ritchie tries to swing in a cross but his effort is fairly indicative of Newcastle's performance as a whole here today - dreadful.
70'
BRUNT
Chris Brunt fizzes a shot wide from all of 30 yards. West Brom look the more likely to score as it stands here.
68'
Yellow Card
Mohamed Diame (Newcastle United)
68'
20 LEFT
With a little over 20 minutes remaining, West Brom look good value for their lead. Newcastle are offering very little in an attacking sense here.
65'
Substitution
Islam Slimani (on). Dwight Gayle (off). (Newcastle United)
62'
PERMUTATIONS
Rondon has a chance to double West Brom's lead but he shanks his effort well wide. With Southampton winning, a draw for Swansea against Chelsea later on would be enough to send West Brom down today.
58'
Substitution
Jacob Murphy (on). Paul Dummett (off). (Newcastle United)
6'
POSSESSION
Newcastle are having the lion's share of possession here in the early stages, West Brom looking comfortable sitting back and looking for opportunities to break.
57'
ATTACKING
An attacking change now for Newcastle, with Jacob Murphy replacing Paul Dummett.
54'
FORM
After a period of great form, Newcastle looked strangely toothless in their game against Everton on Monday, and the same seems to be the case today. There is no real energy about their play at the moment.
49'
BRIGHTER
Newcastle have started brightly here but are yet to carve out a chance. They did hit the woodwork twice in the first half however.
47'
UNDERWAY
Here we go for the second half.
45'
Yellow Card
Allan Nyom (West Bromwich Albion)
45'
HALF-TIME
The half-time whistle goes and at the break, West Brom lead 1-0.
45'
ESCAPE
Mo Diame goes close, swinging a boot at a knock down from Perez. From the resulting corner, Dwight Gayle heads goalwards but hits the bar and West Brom escape!
43'
DESERVED
Newcastle aren't playing with any real urgency here, they look content to see the first half out and attempt to get back into the game in the second half. West Brom look difficult to break down and deserve their lead.
37'
Yellow Card
Jake Livermore (West Bromwich Albion)
37'
CLOSE
West Brom go close again here, flooding forward after some loose play from Newcastle in midfield. The home side look a little too relaxed and have been guilty of some sloppy play.
34'
POST
Kenedy hits the post! So close to an equaliser there.
33'
SOLID
Newcastle are having all the possession here but they just aren't threatening anything at the moment. West Brom look solid.
29'
Goal
Matt Phillips. Assist by Jake Livermore (West Bromwich Albion)
29'
LEAD
Dreaful defending from Newcastle allowed Matt Phillips to get in behind and the Scottish international made no mistake, smashing his shot past the helpless Dubravaka in the Newcastle goal. West Brom have the lead!
3'
RAFA
News today that Rafa Benitez's representatives have opened talks with the upper echelons at Newcastle. He will look to have his ambitions matched by the club before signing up to a new deal.
28'
GOOOAAALLL!!!
Matt Phillips opens the scoring for West Brom!
26'
RONDON
Salomon Rondon has a go from distance but to call the Venezuelan's effort speculative would be an understatement. That almost went out for a corner.
23'
NYOM V KENEDY
Allan Nyom will have his hands full up against Kenedy today. The right-back has been a solid presence for West Brom despite their troubles and has done a good job marshalling the young winger so far today.
19'
SAVE
Newcastle are very much on top here, with Dwight Gayle having a shot saved by Ben Foster. Still no real chances here yet though.
14'
MCCLEAN
James McClean is capable of terrorising defences on his day. He does just that here, jinking this way and that before hitting a cross/shot across the goal but just wide with Chris Brunt trying to get there.
10'
MOORE
Darren Moore has done a pretty decent job since replacing Alan Pardew as West Brom's manager, although it has to be said that it would have been difficult to do a worse job than the former Newcastle boss.
1'
WE'RE OFF
Here we go then - West Brom need a win today to keep alive their faint hopes of survival.
