Follow live coverage as Leeds United face Newcastle United in the Premier League today.

It’s crunch time at both ends of the table and the hosts know they need a victory to keep their survival hopes realistically alive, with only three matches remaining including this one. Leeds sit 19th in the league, two points from safety, and can put pressure on the likes of Leicester and Everton later in the weekend if they pick up a result here.

Newcastle, meanwhile, are third and need only seven points from four matches to guarantee a top-four finish - they’ll see this game as a real opportunity to take a huge step towards that, though need a reaction after being beaten by Arsenal last time out.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Allardyce will be pleased with the start his side made to the game and will be trying to replicate that in the second half while shaking off the penalty disappointment. Newcastle took a long time to get a foothold but looked much better after getting the equaliser. They just need to keep that up after the break.

It's all square at the break, with Leeds and Newcastle drawing 1-1. The hosts made a great start to the game, with Ayling firing in the rebound from Rodrigo's saved header to give them the lead just seven minutes in. But, it's a story of two penalties within five minutes that changed the game. Bamford saw his saved by Pope at one end, only for Newcastle to win one that Wilson confidently nestled into the bottom corner to pull them level.

CLOSE! It's crowded on the edge of Leeds' box, with the hosts staying compact. Wilson manages to bundle it through to Almiron, who does have space on the right, but he whips his shot wide of the far post.
