Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Manchester City today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.

The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.

Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Newcastle United vs Manchester City

GOAL!!! NEWCASTLE LEAD AGAIN! Following the second of successive corners, Tonali's dangerous delivery is not fully cleared. Newcastle get the ball back into City's box, and Woltemade heads it across to Bruno Guimaraes. His close-range header then hits the bar, but Barnes pounces first to take one touch and steer home! It's now 2-1 to the Magpies!

Newcastle United vs Manchester City

GOAL!!! NEWCASTLE MAKE THE BREAKTHROUGH! St James' Park goes wild with delight, as the hosts go 1-0 in front! After receiving possession from his team-mate, a determined lunge by Bruno Guimaraes prods the ball back towards Barnes, who then shoots clinically into the bottom-left corner! It's an unerring strike from the edge of the box.

Newcastle United vs Manchester City

For just a second time in 36 Premier League meetings with Manchester City - and the first since 2019 - Newcastle United prevail, winning an eventful encounter 2-1 at St James' Park. Showing great character and grit, the Magpies made light of their dreadful league form to topple in-form City, thanks to a second-half brace by Barnes. His strikes arrived either side of a rapid Ruben Dias equaliser, as the goals finally started to flow after an inexplicably barren first half. Before the break, Woltemade, Haaland and Foden all missed gilt-edged chances - while two VAR checks decided against awarding penalties - and that all contributed to a significant xG: Newcastle finished with 2.24, while City produced 1.88 overall. At last, Howe ends his long wait for a win against City, and that should set his side up well for next week's Champions League trip to Marseille. Meanwhile, having failed to take second spot in the Premier League table, Guardiola's boys must go again on Tuesday, when they welcome Bayer Leverkusen to Manchester. That's all for today's live coverage, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

Deep inside his own box, Thiaw clears away a threatening low cross from his former Milan team-mate Reijnders, as Newcastle's resistance goes on. Gvardiol then commits a needless foul and further releases the pressure.

Joelinton tugs back Savinho in midfield and accepts an inevitable yellow card. He had no intention of letting City spark a quick counter-attack.

For deliberately bringing down a counter-attacking Tonali near the touchline, Bobb is booked. When City's latest attack breaks down, the substitute reacts with haste.
