    • FT The referee blows up for full-time and Luke Moore's late goal is enough to hand Swansea a 1-0 victory!

    • 90' NEWCASTLE DOUBLE SUB: Ameobi and Marveaux come on for Tiote and Gutierrez as the visitors look to rescue a late point.
    • 89' Newcastle are lining up a double substitution but, with only second left on the clock, is it too little, too late for the visitors?
    • 88' SWANSEA SUB: The hosts make their first change of the afternoon, with Hernandez making way for Tiendalli.
    • 87' Swansea half-clear a Newcastle corner but only to Sissoko, however his ambitious shot drift harmlessly wide.

    • 83' Williams has now calmed down and returns to the job in hand, clearing a long Newcastle pass out for a throw with Debuchy lurking.
    • 82' Something has got under the skin of Swansea defender Williams and he's having a very strong word with Sissoko. The referee steps in to defuse the situation.
    • 81' Sissoko picks the ball up on the halfway line and drives forward only to see his strike flash wide of the post!
    • 80' Michu has been very quiet this afternoon - can the Swansea talisman conjure something up in these last ten minutes?
    • 79' Swansea chance! Ki gets behind the Newcastle defence but looses his footing as he shoot and Elliot comfortably saves.
    • 78' Moore's first contribution is to win a free-kick after being caught by the arm of Taylor close to the halfway line.

    • 77' Santon strides forward, beating one man and then another, but goes down under a challenge on the edge of the box. The referee's having none of it though and waves plays on.

    • 73' Sissoko has time to line up a shot from 25 yards but Vorm is equal to the effort and pushes the ball behind for a corner. Smart save!

    • 71' Cabaye's set-pieces deliveries have, on the whole, been poor this afternoon.

    • 66' Off the crossbar! Cabaye lets rip with a fierce shot from 25 yards but Vorm tips it onto the bar and out for a corner. So close for the visitors!
    • 65' Swansea haven't really got going yet in this second half and certainly aren't looking as fluid as they did at times in the first 45.
    • 64' Remember, you can follow all the Premier League goals as they go in right here... Premier League - Every game LIVE

    • 57' Would Cisse have been better off bringing the ball down and picking out the corner rather than trying to rip the net off?
    • 56' Newcastle go close! Sissoko flicks a header on to Cisse, who slips through the Swansea defence, but the striker fires a fierce volley over from the edge of the box!
    • 55' Elliot's kicking has been poor this afternoon and the Newcastle keeper send another clearance straight into the stands.

    • 41' Cisse goes through the back of Davies and the referee pulls the Senegal striker over for a strong word but no card.
    • 40' Tiote catches Hernandez to give Swansea a free-kick. The Newcasttle midfielder has already been booked and will have to be careful...
    • 38' Du Guzman fires in a superb free-kick but the unmarked Monk mis-times his header from six yards! That was the best chance of the match so far but the Swansea captain failed to take advantage and put his header miles over.
    • 37' Cabaye rightly gets a yellow card for that challenge on Dyer, who is back to his feet and able to continue.
    • 36' Dyer is in agony after a late challenge from Cabaye, who goes straight over to the stricken Swansea man to apologise.

    • 34' Tiote is penalised for a high foot on Dyer and is the first player to go into the book.
    • 33' Alan Pardew is furious with Davies' challenge on Gutierrez. It was strong and mistimed but not malicious and the referee is happy to let the young left-back off with only a talking to.
    • 32' Cabaye whips in the corner and Monk just about gets enough on his defensive header to clear.
    • 31' Sissoko takes on Rangel on the left flank and wins a corner for his troubles.
    • 30' One snippet of Newcastle news this week, troubled striker Nile Ranger has left the club after his contract was cancelled by mutual consent. Ranger ends Newcastle stay

    • 28' De Guzman slides in an attempt to win the ball from Sissoko but gives away a foul and injured himself in the process.

    • 24' Newcastle win a second corner but Cabaye overhits his cross.
    • 23' Sissoko slips in Debuchy with a lovely pass around the corner on the right edge of the box but Williams gets his body in the way of the Frenchman's cross to give Newcastle a corner.

    • 18' Alan Pardew is frantically waving his arms on the sidelines, trying to get his side to calm down and keep possession.
    • 17' Newcastle have looked shaky at the back in these opening 17 minutes, not least goalkeeper Elliot, who was lucky Taylor was on hand to clear De Guzman's shot a few minutes ago with Michu ready to pounce.
    • 16' Newcastle have conceded two goals in each of their last three games but have won two of those matches.
    • 15' Handball?! Debuchy handles in the area under pressure from Davies but the referee waves play on. No penalty!
    • 14' A superb passage of play ends with De Guzman letting fly with a long-distance shot which Elliot spills but Taylor gets to the loose ball to hack clear with Michu lurking.
    • 13' Taylor has to stretch to meet the free-kick but can only nod his tame header straight at Vorm.
    • 12' This time Tiote is fouled and it's Newcastle's turn to have a free-kick inside their opponent's half.
    • 11' The last two teams to win the League Cup (Liverpool and Birmingham) lost their first league games after lifting the trophy but Swansea have started well this afternoon.
    • 10' Newcastle's defence was at sixes and sevens there, with both Michu and Williams allowed to ghost behind the line to meet De Guzman's free-kick.
    • 9' Off the line! De Guzman delivers the free-kick, Michu flicks it on and Williams sees his mis-hit shot hacked off the line by Taylor!
    • 8' Dyer is up-ended Tiote to hand Swansea a free-kick midway inside the Newcastle half. That's the second foul Tiote has committed so the referee has a quick word.
    • 7' Swansea have come to life and, after Newcastle enjoyed the better of the opening few minutes, are dominating possession in midfield.
    • 6' Hernandez skips past his man on the left flank but overhits his cross. Rangel is there to pick-up the loose ball on the opposite flank and delivers a low cross which only just evades Michu before Newcastle clear.
    • 5' You can follow all the action from every Premier League fixture right here... Premier League - Every game LIVE
    • 4' Newcastle have settled well and Gouffran seizes upon a Monk mistake to win possession and whip in a cross but it doesn't find a team-mate.
    • 3' Newcastle defender Yanga-Mbwina isn't the only person making his Premier League debutant, referee Craig Pawson is taking charge of his first top-flight match.
    • 2' Swansea are playing in their all-white home kit, while Newcastle are in their maroon away strip.
    • 1' And we're off, Newcastle get the game underway.
    • 14:55 Ok, here we go, five minutes until the off and the teams are in the tunnel. There's a great atmosphere building in south Wales...
    • 14:50 Swansea go into today's game in ninth, two points behind Liverpool, while Newcastle have risen to 13th thanks to three wins from their last four league matches. Premier League table
    • 14:45 Swansea's Carling Cup success has prompted the club to explore the possibility of increasing the capacity of the Liberty Stadium from 20,500 to an eventual maximum of 32,000. Swansea want to expand Liberty Stadium
    • 14:40 Newcastle manager Alan Pardew praised his side after their swashbuckling 4-2 win over Southampton last Sunday: : "We are much more aggressive in our play. We have tried to be aggressive all year, even with teams that perhaps didn't have the quality to play that way. Your squad comes together, but it takes a while for it to click into gear. Fortunately, we almost hit the ground running when the new guys arrived."
    • 14:35 Swansea can expect a heroes return at the Libery Stadium after their Carling Cup triumph but boss Laudrup has warned his players not to get wrapped up in that victory: "There might be a negative reaction after winning the cup - I hope not - but it's a possibility. I hope the players go out and play the best game of the season, because this is the first game after the cup final, we are playing at home in front of our fans with the cup on display, so I hope - but I don't know."
    • 14:30 There’s only one change from the Newcastle team that beat Southampton 4-2 last weekend, with January signing Mapou Yanga-Mbwina making his first Premier League start in place of captain Fabricio Coloccini, who is sidelined with a back injury.
