Manchester United vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction today

13’ - Neither side has worked a real opportunity so far with plenty of good work being done in midfield before play breaks down around the edge of the box.

Lucas Moura has had the ball nipped away from his feet while looking to cause problems on a couple of occasions.

10’ - Eric Dier is down again and Joe Rodon is being readied on the bench.

The Welshman will be coming on to partner Japhet Tanganga at the back.

There was no malice in the challenge from Jordan Ayew but the speed at which the two players made contact is what has caused the problem.

7’ - Eric Dier is sold short by an unexpected throw out from Hugo Lloris and Jordan Ayew steams in to try and win the ball, clearing out the Spurs centre-back in the process.

Dier is back on his feet but moving awkwardly and with Cristian Romero and Davinson Sanchez both missing this afternoon, Spurs could face a significant problem if that is a real injury.

4’ - Emerson Royal is already in the thick of the action, fouling Wilfried Zaha as the Ivorian looked to make his way towards the penalty area.

That could be a fascinating battle throughout the afternoon.

1’ - We’re underway in south London with Crystal Palace in red-and-blue stripes and Spurs in white.

A minute’s silence is currently taking place at Selhurst Park to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.

All other Premier League fixtures this afternoon will involve the same process.

A quick reminder before kick-off of the two starting elevens thus afternoon:

Crystal Palace: Guaita; Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell; Gallagher, Kouyate, McArthur; Ayew, Benteke, Zaha.

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris; Royal, Tanganga, Dier, Reguilon; Winks, Skipp, Hojbjerg; Alli, Kane, Moura.

Patrick Vieira is looking for his first Crystal Pace win in front of the home crowd at Selhurst Park and they’re making themselves heard already as the players make their way onto the pitch.

We’ve had full crowds back for a good few weeks now but it’s still glorious hearing the roars and seeing the joy on people’s faces in stadiums around the country.

Palace boss Patrick Vieira has stuck with the same line-up as their previous outing away at West Ham, despite bringing in Odsonne Édouard and Michael Olise at the end of the transfer window, and has been explaining his reasoning to BT Sport:

“I was really pleased with the performances [against West Ham] so there wasn’t any reason for me to change it. The players on the bench are ready to come on and help the team.

On the threat posed by today’s visitors, Vieira added: “[Harry] Kane is one of the best forwards in the league and in Europe. But Tottenham is all about the squad, he is scoring goals because the team is playing well.

Nuno Espirito Santo has been talking to BT Sport about the impact of the issues created by the quarantine period his Argentinian players Cristian Romero and Giovanni Lo Celso are having to undergo post-international break.

“The most difficult is the the opponent”, said Espirito Santo. “And then all the issues we have which everyone is aware of. They [Argentinians] are training in Croatia and will arrive the day before we play Chelsea.

On Emerson Royal’s start, he added: “Due to the circumstances we have to use all the squad. W. think he has the quality to help the team. He is an offensive full-back with experience.”
