Newcastle vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction as Willock gives Magpies win

69 mins: Mads Roerslev is given the ball on the right wing by Ivan Toney and the right-back bursts up the pitch. He fizzes in a cross but sends it straight into the waiting arms of Ederson.

At the other end of the pitch Stones flicks a cross into the box but Rico Henry blocks it and Mathias Jensen completes the clearance.

66 mins: Oh my! A flowing one-touch move from City should have resulted in a goal. De Bruyne threads the ball across to Gundogan from the right wing and the German slides it into the box for Haaland.

Haaland rolls the ball back to Gundogan who looks to lift the ball into the far corner but instead hooks it well over the crossbar.

The midfielder sinks to his knees after that effort, he knows he should have done better.

63 mins: Thomas Frank goes to the bench and introduces Christian Norgaard in place of Vitaly Janelt. Norgaard is more of a playmaking midfielder and could be crucial in transitioning Brentford from defence into attack.

There’s another break in play as the assistant referee’s communication pack has a problem.

60 mins: Brentford continue to defend brilliantly. Gundogan makes a run to the byline and keeps the ball alive. He cuts inside and lifts a cross over to Haaland but the ball goes over the Norwegian’s head.

De Bruyne recovers it and sends another cross into the box but Foden can’t reach this one and Brentford boot it away.

57 mins: Laporte is back on his feet and will continue for Manchester City. The stoppage was seven minutes long which will be added on at the end of the half.

Close! The ball comes into the Brentford box from the right side and bounces through to Cancelo. He thinks about shooting but takes a touch then drills a low shot at goal. Zanka gets in the way and deflects it wide of the far post.

Corner to City.

54 mins: Laporte has been receiving treatment for around three minutes now. The cut on his head has been cleaned up and he’s been wrapped in a bandage.

No doubt a concussion test has also taken place but for now the game is still paused. No wrod on whether he’ll be able to play on but the signs are looking okay.

51 mins: Ouch! City cross the ball into the middle of the penalty area and there’s a cluster of bodies that rise to win it. One of them is Aymeric Laporte who takes a stray elbow to the face and stays down after the move.

There’s a bit of blood on show and the Manchester City medical staff come out to see to him.

48 mins: John Stones gets forward on the right to link up with Bernardo Silva. Bernardo tries to slide a pass into the box but Ben Mee gets the block in.

City recover the ball and work it across to Cancelo. He flicks an aerial pass over to the back post where Bernardo pops up and nods it across the area and Brentford send it behind for a corner.

Kick off: City get the match restarted after half-time. There’s been no changes from either manager as City slowly push their way back up the pitch.

Brentford ready for challenge of stopping ‘machine’ Erling Haaland

Thomas Frank admitted Brentford face their toughest test yet when they travel to Manchester City for their final match before the World Cup.

The 11th-placed Bees have won just one of their last five top-flight games, while City are looking to extend their winning streak to four and boost their chances of topping the table at the break.

It is now Brentford’s turn to attempt what many other clubs have failed to accomplish so far this season: stop prolific City striker Erling Haaland.
