17:14

Newcastle came from two goals down in the second half to draw 4-4 with Luton in a Premier League classic at St. James' Park. The Hatters twice came from behind before the break to level the score. Longstaff netted a brace, getting onto the end of Trippier's cutback to break the deadlock before reacting the quickest to a rebounded strike from Gordon to add his second. However, the Hatters were resilient. Osho headed in their first, with Barkley crashing in his strike from close range after Doughty's shot was pushed into his path. Luton then gained control after scoring twice to go 4-2 ahead. The referee pointed to the spot after a VAR check, with Burn pulling back Ogbene just inside the box. Morris rolled in the spot-kick to put the visitors in the lead before Adebayo added their fourth with a low strike into the bottom-left corner. However, they couldn't hold onto their lead. Trippier started the comeback with a goal, with Barnes netting their leveller with an accurate strike from the edge into the bottom-left corner. Next up, Newcastle travel to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, with Luton hosting Sheffield United. That's all, goodbye.

16:13

SAVE! Huge opportunity for Newcastle. Wilson does brilliantly to collect the ball with his back to goal before flicking it around to Miley. He then finds Murphy, who gets into the box and dribbles past a defender before having a low drive saved by the foot of Kaminski.

Luton created better opportunities before the break and created an xG (expected goals) of 1.27 compared to Newcastle's 0.99. Barkley had their most touches (47) and completed 88.2 per cent of his passes in an impressive midfield display. However, the Hatters must be more careful in the defensive third, as they have often gifted the ball to the Magpies, who haven't been able to capitalise. As for the hosts, they will be disappointed with their lack of control at home. Howe's men have had just 48.7 per cent of the possession, with most of their best opportunities coming from counters.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

15:57

Luton twice came from behind against Newcastle to send the teams into the break level at St. James' Park with the score 2-2. Longstaff netted the opener for the hosts inside seven minutes, getting onto the end of Trippier's low cross to power his low, first-time strike into the bottom-left corner. Osho then replied with a header from close range before the Magpies regained the lead moments later. Gordon made a surging run down the left before cutting into the box and unleashing a curling effort. Kaminski pushed it away, but Longstaff was there to score the rebound for his second goal of the contest. However, Barkey ensured that an entertaining first 45 minutes ended level. He dispossessed Longstaff and rolled a pass down the left side of the box to Doughty, who had his low strike saved. The ball dropped straight to the feet of Barkley, with the midfielder taking a touch to compose himself before thumping in the equaliser.

Newcastle are having all the chances at the moment. Trippier strolls down the right and looks for options, finding Murphy on the overlap. He then cuts a pass across to Gordon, who makes a mess of the shot.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

15:35

Gordon arrives on the edge of the box on the right and offloads a pass to Murphy. He sets it across to Guimaraes, who makes a deep run from midfield to create an option, but he takes a heavy touch and the chance is gone.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

15:33

Adebayo looks to dribble past Botman to get into the box on the right but is stopped by the centre-back. He thinks he should have a free-kick, but the referee ignores his claims. The striker then shows his frustrations and fouls Schar.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

15:32

Doughty loses possession in Luton's half to Murphy, who attempts to whip a right-footed cross into the box from the right. However, Kaminski is quick off his line to catch it. The Hatters will be punished if they continue to lose the ball in their defensive third.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

15:30

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

15:28

Trippier has a corner on the right and he curls an inswinging cross into the box. However, it goes over the head over everyone and out for a goal-kick. Osho was grabbing Botman and was fortunate not to be punished.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

15:20

Burn makes a mess of a heavy touch on the right and is put under pressure by Ogbene, who wins possession well in an advanced position. However, he cannot get away from Burn, with the defender quickly winning it back.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

15:17

Adebayo runs down the left and wins Luton's first corner. Newcastle bring everyone back and load the box. Doughty finds Morris with an outswinging cross, but his tame header is caught with ease by Dubravka.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

15:15

The battle between Ogbene and Burn on the right will be one to keep an eye on. The Luton winger is much quicker than the Magpies defender and is looking to go past him at every opportunity.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

15:13

Guimaraes is down just inside Luton's half and needs a few moments before returning to his feet. He looks to be struggling slightly. Howe will be hoping that it is nothing serious.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

15:12

Ogbene is showing some real intent down the right. He bursts into the box and gets beyond his marker before cutting the ball back into the middle, but Schar clears it away for a throw-in.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

15:11

Newcastle have lost just one of their last 17 Premier League games against promoted sides (winning nine and drawing seven), though it was their most recent match in the reverse fixture against Luton. Indeed, Luton could be just the second promoted side to do the double over the Magpies in the last seven seasons, after Leeds in 2020-21.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

15:08

Goal Sean David Longstaff

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

Newcastle are passing the ball around their defensive third and are allowing Luton to come onto them. Schar takes too long in possession and Clark tackles him, but the ball rolls harmlessly back to Dubravka.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

15:07

CHANCE! Luton are causing some early danger. Ogbene uses his speed to get on the end of a direct pass down the right. He gets beyond Burn and attempts to roll a pass across the box, but Schar slides across to make the interception.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

15:04

Luton start with an aggressive press and are looking to win possession in Newcastle's half. However, it opens the Hatters up for a counter, with Gordon racing down the right, cutting inside before having a pass across the box intercepted by Lokonga.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

15:01

Luton get this Premier League clash under way. The Hatters will be hoping for another fast start, with Rob Edwards' men scoring twice in the first 137 seconds against Brighton in their last outing.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

14:45

Luton make one alteration to the team that thumped Brighton 4-0 in midweek. Mengi comes into the defence and starts ahead of Burke. Former Newcastle winger Townsend, who scored the only goal in the reverse fixture, is on the bench.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

14:45

Newcastle make one enforced change to the side that beat Villa 3-1 in their last Premier League outing. Alexander Isak went off with a groin injury and is replaced in the attack by Almiron. However, there is a double boost for the injury-hit Magpies, with Barnes and Wilson back on the bench after a spell on the sidelines.

Luton are in good form in the Premier League and have won three of their last five matches to take themselves out of the relegation zone and into 17th position. Securing two consecutive triumphs over Newcastle and Sheffield United at the start of the run, the Hatters lost 3-2 to Chelsea before collecting a point against Burnley. However, Rob Edwards' men returned to winning ways with their most emphatic win of the season in their previous match, with a hat-trick from Elijah Adebayo and a goal from Chiedozie Ogbene helping them secure a 4-0 win over European hopefuls Brighton. It was a special victory for Luton, with captain Tom Lockyer making his first appearance at Kenilworth Road since suffering a cardiac arrest in December's game at Bournemouth. The visitors will now be looking to complete a famous double over Newcastle for the first time since the 1937-38 campaign.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

14:30

Newcastle ended a four-match losing run in the Premier League with a 3-1 win over Aston Villa in their last outing. The Villans had won 16 of their previous 17 games at home in the top flight, but a brace from Fabian Schar and an own goal from Alex Moreno helped the Magpies to a comfortable three-goal lead before Ollie Watkins netted a consolation. A third straight-away victory in all competitions lifted Eddie Howe's men into eighth position. Newcastle are 14 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham, meaning their chances of qualifying for the Champions League for the second successive season is very unlikely. However, they will still be hoping that a place in the Europa League or Europa Conference League is in their grasp. Despite this, the Magpies must improve their form at St. James' Park, with the hosts losing back-to-back fixtures against Nottingham Forest and Manchester City.
