90'+4'

That is all for today's live text coverage. Thanks for joining, goodbye!

90'+4'

Burnley have now lost all three league games this term and stay in the relegation zone. Dyche's side head to fellow strugglers West Brom in their first game back after the international break, while Newcastle play host to Manchester United in two weeks' time.

90'+4'

Newcastle beat Burnley 3-1 at St James' Park to move up to sixth in the Premier League. Saint-Maximin scored one and then assisted Wilson for United's second, either side of Westwood's volleyed equaliser, and Wilson sealed the three points from the penalty spot 13 minutes from time.

90'+4'

FULL-TIME: NEWCASTLE UNITED 3-1 BURNLEY

90'+3'

Longstaff has only been on the field for a matter of seconds but has a go from a long way out and, while Pope looked a little worried, it is a fair way off target.

90'+3'

Longstaff comes on for Joelinton in the last of the game's changes.

90'+2'

The match is petering out now, with Burnley struggling to string more than a few passes together. Newcastle are deserved winners on the basis of the 90 minutes.

90'

Four minutes have been added on at the end of the game at St James' Park. Newcastle are nearly over the line with another big win.

89'

Newcastle are seeing out the game in a professional manner. Burnley get into the opposition half for the first time in a while but Westwood gifts possession straight back.

87'

The visitors are offering very little as we edge closer to the full-time whistle, seemingly having already accepted their fate. Newcastle are going to end the day in sixth place.

85'

Burnley have around five minutes to try to salvage something from this game. It is looking like Dyche's side are going to begin the campaign with three successive defeats.

83'

Former Burnley player Hendrick ghosts in at the back post but cannot quite get on the end of Shelvey's cross.

82'

Wilson now has more goals in four Premier League games for Newcastle (four) than he managed in his final 28 in the competition for Bournemouth (three). Not a bad way for the striker to begin life at his new club!

81'

NEARLY! Fraser puts his fresh legs to good use as he drifts into the middle and takes on an early shot. Pope gets a touch to it to concede a corner.

80'

Newcastle defender Krafth, who has been through the wars today, is fine to continue after being given some treatment.

79'

Krafth and Wood clash heads and the Newcastle man comes out second best. It is yet another stoppage in play...

78'

Vydra is on for Barnes up top as Burnley chase a goal.

77'

GOOOOAAAALLL!!! NEWCASTLE 3-1 BURNLEY! As cheeky as you like from Wilson. He dinks the penalty down the middle, just out of Pope's reach, and Newcastle have some breathing space.

76'

PENALTY TO NEWCASTLE! Pope has had a terrible game. He lets the ball bounce over his boot and, in an attempt to make amends, takes out Fraser to stop the substitute winger from tapping into an empty net. Newcastle have a chance to seal the points from the spot.

75'

Hayden and Manquillo combine to take out Barnes, who kicks out and is fortunate the referee did not spot it. Burnley have 15 minutes to find a second equaliser at St James' Park.

73'

Saint-Maximin's involvement is curtailed because of a knock sustained in the first half. Fraser will provide some fresh legs out wide.

73'

Worryingly for Bruce, Saint-Maximin has gone to ground and stayed down. The physios are brought on and this may well be the end of the winger's game.

72'

SHOT! Saint-Maximin, once again, terrorises Burnley's defence. He then tees up Hayden for a 20-yard shot that is simple enough for Pope to deal with.

71'

Burnley worked so hard to equalise, only to concede a second goal four minutes later. Dyche's men have not offered a great deal in response since Wilson's tap-in.

69'

Saint-Maximin is having a stormer. He looks to lead a Newcastle counter but is prevented from doing so by McNeil, who drags back on his opponent's shirt to earn a yellow card.

68'

Dyche makes a change in midfield, with Gudmundsson on for Stephens.

67'

Newcastle United attacker Allan Saint-Maximin has scored and assisted in the same Premier League game for the first time.

65'

Burnley's defenders have been unable to live with Saint-Maximin. The winger took on Taylor down Newcastle's right and then managed to pick out Wilson at the end of the move.

65'

GOOOOAAAAALLL!!! NEWCASTLE 2-1 BURNLEY!! Wilson restores Newcastle's lead with a tap-in! Saint-Maximin, who has been brilliant all game, knocks the ball past Taylor and squares for Wilson to tuck home towards the back post.

64'

Saint-Maximin clips a cross into the six-yard box and it is just too high for Wilson. Shelvey's floored pass towards Wilson in the next attacking move is intercepted.

63'

That is Westwood's first goal in 15 Premier League outings on what is his 100th appearance in the competition. Newcastle need to change something because the visitors look good value for a second goal.

61'

Full credit to Burnley because they look a much better side in the second half. They are asking a lot of questions of Newcastle's backline but need to start creating more chances.

61'

GOOOOAAAALLL!!! NEWCASTLE 1-1 BURNLEY!! Westwood blasts Dyche's side level - and it is fully deserved on the basis of the opening 15 minutes of the second half. Bardsley's cross is glanced on by a Newcastle player and Westwood fires past Darlow with a crisp first-time finish.

60'

Fifty per cent of the eight Premier League meetings between Newcastle United and Burnley have ended level, with each side winning two games apiece.

58'

Saint-Maximin jinks one way and then the other but loses his balance under pressure from Long - good defending from the Burnley man.

57'

Westwood floats a right-sided cross into the six-yard box. Barnes goes for it but Darlow is able to pluck it out of the air.

55'

Schar is unable to continue after damaging his shoulder in the first half, which could mean another lay-off for the defender. Manquillo is brought on in his place.

54'

Wood turns Fernandez but, just as he is about to shoot, Krafth gets across to poke the ball away from his feet. Burnley are looking a lot better in the second half.

53'

GOOD EFFORT! This is a lot better from Burnley. They pass the ball around and then go long to Barnes down the right. Barnes' cross is decent and Wood guides it on goal with his head, forcing Darlow into his first meaningful save of the game at his near post.

51'

Darlow makes a mess of attempting to catch a lofted free-kick. He is bailed out by his team-mates but that was a scary moment for the hosts.

45'+4'

Dyche will not be pleased with Burnley's first-half showing and may turn to his bench, which includes the likes of Gudmundsson, Vydra and Brady. Newcastle boss Bruce will be after more of the same in the second 45, with Newcastle up to sixth as things stand.

50'

Burnley, who have not won a Premier League away game when losing at half-time in 50 previous attempts, have not exactly come out for the second period re-energised. Barnes and Wood are still feeding off scraps.

45'+4'

Newcastle take a 1-0 lead into half-time against Burnley through Saint-Maximin's strike after 14 minutes. The visitors have offered little but they did have a Barnes goal rightly ruled out for offside. It has otherwise been a game dominated by Bruce's men, though, with Hendrick wasting a glorious chance just before the interval.

49'

Newcastle left-back Lewis is booked for catching Barnes in the throat with his arm.

45'+4'

HALF-TIME: NEWCASTLE UNITED 1-0 BURNLEY

45'+3'

WIDE! Shelvey's outside-of-the-boot cross is glanced into the path of Hendrick, who is all alone at the back post. He takes a touch to set himself but slices the shot into the side netting. That is a big chance for the hosts!

47'

Schar, Saint-Maximin and Krafth all received treatment in the first half but have each emerged for the second half. Neither manager made any changes at the interval.

46'

RESTART! Burnley's players returned to the field a fair bit before kick-off. It is the visitors that get us back under way at St James' Park.

45'+1'

Saint-Maximin returns to the pitch. Four minutes have been added on at the end of a stop-start first half.

45'

Bardsley is fortunate to escape a booking for another challenge on Saint-Maximin, who stays down. For the third time today, the Newcastle physio is on the field.

44'

Shelvey is dictating the flow of the game form his deep starting position. Following a short period of Burnley pressure, Newcastle are now back in control of things as we approach half-time.

42'

Burnley are finally starting to keep hold of the ball. They are not hurting their opponents but it is an improvement on the previous 40 minutes or so.

40'

Barnes kicks out at Hayden for the third booking in the space of three minutes.

39'

Newcastle defender Krafth, like team-mate Schar before him, returns to the field after receiving some treatment. United have a full complement of players for the time being.

38'

Krafth stays down after being caught by Tarkowski. The Newcastle physio is being kept busy in this first half...

37'

Tarkowski is also booked for catching Krafth with a stray elbow.

37'

Joelinton is cautioned for throwing the ball into the ground after a decision went against him.

36'

GOAL DISALLOWED! Burnley think they have scored from their first meaningful attack of the match. Stephens' shot deflects into the path of Barnes and he fires past Darlow, but he was clearly stood in an offside position and the flag goes up.

35'

Schar sustained the injury when landing awkwardly after attempting to win an aerial ball. The Switzerland international is back on the field but that is one Bruce will have to keep a close eye on.

33'

Newcastle defender Schar appears to have aggravated a shoulder injury sustained in July. The physio is on and there will be a brief stoppage in play.

32'

Shelvey has had 29 touches of the ball, compared to opposite number Westwood's 13. Burnley are being completely overrun in midfield, despite setting up in the same system as Newcastle.

30'

WILSON GOES CLOSE! Newcastle knock the ball around Burnley in an attack that culminates in Wilson glancing Shelvey's right-sided cross wide of the target. The visitors cannot get a foot on the ball at the moment.

29'

With a little under half an hour played, Newcastle are still in control of the contest. They are a goal to the good and look under no threat whatsoever at the back.

27'

The game has gone pretty quiet over the last five minutes. Newcastle are continuing to see a lot more of the ball than their opponents - can they make this spell of possession count for anything?

25'

Wilson is now playing slightly deeper than Joelinton in the Newcastle attack. Burnley could perhaps do with tweaking system because it is not working for them so far today.

23'

Long just about gets to the ball before Joelinton can pounce. There is a massive gap between the two Burnley centre-backs.

22'

Tarkowski times his challenge to perfection to deny Lewis the chance of getting a shot on goal. Burnley have had just 32 per cent of the ball so far.

20'

Darlow fails to keep hold of a cross but he was fouled by Wood and a free-kick is awarded. Burnley have still yet to get going today with nearly a quarter of the match played.

19'

Newcastle have now scored with all four of their shots on target in the Premier League this season. Efficient, to say the least, but their supporters will be hoping they manage more than just the one attempt today.

17'

Burnley's players felt Wilson barged into Long when setting up Saint-Maximin for the opener. However, replays show that he was simply stronger than his opponent.

16'

Dyche's men have been all over the place at the back so far, despite the return of Tarkowski. Pope in particular has looked incredibly shaky.

14'

Wilson chested the ball into the path of Saint-Maximin and the speedy attacker did the rest. Poor defending from Burnley, it must be said.

14'

GOOOOOAAAAALLL!!! NEWCASTLE 1-0 BURNLEY! Saint-Maximin picks up the ball just inside the Burnley half and is allowed to carry it all the way to the edge of the box. After a couple of dummies he picks his spot past Pope to give the hosts an early lead.

13'

CHANCE FOR NEWCASTLE! Two errors from Pope in the first 13 minutes of the game. The Burnley keeper comes a long way from his line in an attempt to get to a pass over the top and is beaten to it by Wilson. The angle is against Wilson and his cutback is intercepted.

12'

Neither team has managed to really find their rhythm so far, not helped by a number of niggling fouls. Hayden clips Barnes in the latest such example.

10'

Saint-Maximin decides against trying to take on his man and instead plays the ball down the line. Lewis gets on the end of it but he is flagged for offside.

9'

Newcastle United have won just one of their last eight home Premier League games (D4 L3), losing each of their last three in a row and conceding three goals each time. Only Crystal Palace (April 1998) and Fulham (March 2014) have ever lost four consecutive Premier League home games while conceding three-plus goals each time.

7'

SAVE! Burnley hit Newcastle on the counter. Barnes slides the ball to McNeil and the winger carries it forward before getting a low, angled shot on target that Darlow helps wide.

5'

Shelvey's corner is headed clear by Taylor at the front post. Schar plays it back into the box and Long this time gets his head to it.

4'

LUCKY! Pope takes a heavy touch and Wilson is quick to close him down. He blocks the Burnley keeper's clearance but the ball spins wide of the target.

3'

Westwood's deep free-kick is helped on by Tarkowski but it is a Newcastle head that gets the next touch to clear away.

2'

The hosts have spent the opening couple of minutes of the game knocking the ball around. They have not really managed to get it into the final third yet, though.

1'

KICK-OFF! Newcastle get us up and running in this final Premier League game of the day. The hosts can climb as high as fourth with a victory today.

-

Both sets of players are out on the field and kick-off is now just a couple of minutes away. This game will be played behind closed doors, as will every other Premier League fixture for the foreseeable future.

-

Newcastle United are unbeaten in their last seven home league games against Burnley (W3 D4), including all four meetings in the Premier League (W1 D3). Burnley's last league win at Newcastle was back in April 1976 (1-0).

-

Tarkowski and Barnes make their first Premier League starts of the season in the only two changes from Burnley's 1-0 loss to Southampton last weekend, with Dunne and Vydra dropping to the bench. Ben Mee remains absent so Long retains his place in the heart of defence alongside the returning Tarkowski.

-

Newcastle have made four changes on the back of their late 1-1 draw against Tottenham six days ago. Saint-Maximin returns out wide and there are also starts for Krafth, Lewis and Schar in defence, with the latter making his first league appearance of the season in place of the injured Jamal Lascelles.

-

Subs: Josh Benson, Robbie Brady, Bailey Peacock-Farrell, Erik Pieters, Jimmy Dunne, Johann Berg Gudmundsson, Matej Vydra.

BURNLEY XI (4-4-2): Nick Pope; Phil Bardsley, Kevin Long, James Tarkowski, Charlie Taylor; Josh Brownhill, Ashley Westwood (c), Dale Stephens, Dwight McNeil; Chris Wood, Ashley Barnes.

-

Subs: Mark Gillespie, Jacob Murphy, Ryan Fraser, Andy Carroll, Miguel Almiron, Sean Longstaff, Javier Manquillo.

-

NEWCASTLE XI (4-4-2): Karl Darlow; Emil Krafth, Federico Fernandez, Fabian Schar, Jamal Lewis; Jeff Hendrick, Jonjo Shelvey (c), Isaac Hayden, Allan Saint-Maximin; Joelinton, Callum Wilson.

-

Burnley have lost their opening two league matches - 4-2 against Leicester City and 1-0 versus Southampton - to find themselves in the bottom three. Sean Dyche's men were also in EFL Cup action in midweek, falling to a 3-0 loss at the hands of Manchester City to make it back-to-back losses in all competitions without scoring.

-

Newcastle have had a mixed start to the campaign thus far, following up a 2-0 opening game victory over West Ham with a 3-0 defeat at home to Brighton and Hove Albion and a 1-1 draw with Tottenham. Steve Bruce's side are also through to the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup thanks to a penalty shoot-out win against Newport County in midweek.
