Minute-by-minute report: Newcastle's top-four push continues while West Ham fight the drop. Join Scott Murray.

That was a golden opportunity to put West Ham into the lead just before the break. But his cross goes to nobody in particular, and it’s an easy clearance for the West Ham defence. West Ham are again doing a good job of keeping the home fans quiet. 57 min: Joelinton storms into the West Ham box down the inside-right channel. The resulting free kick leads to some head tennis in the Newcastle box, but nothing more. 79 min: Gordon races in from the left and … From the restart, Trippier whips a glorious free kick into the mixer. 88 min: Schar batters a free kick into Ings’ back, proving a point with the West Ham man failing to retreat ten yards in short order. 82 min: Joelinton wins a corner down the right. West Ham break upfield through Fornals and Rice, but they can’t combine, the move breaks down, and the whistle goes. Newcastle started in super-fast style, and briefly threatened to blow West Ham away, but the visitors held firm, came back to put an end to Nick Pope’s run of six consecutive we didn’t quite carry that on for the rest of the first half …

Newcastle United can become the third Premier League team this season to cross the 40-point marker when it meets West Ham on Saturday at St. James' Park.

A season ago, Manchester City conceded just 26 goals in 38 games (0.68 per game). Arsenal (50 points) were handed just their second defeat of the season on Saturday, beaten 1-0 away to Everton as Sean Dyche made his debut as Toffees manager. Chelsea has some work to do while surprising Fulham, Brentford and Brighton are hanging around on the periphery with fine campaigns. The home fans are loving the start of the Sean Dyche era. Incredible play by Amadou Onana to surge down the left and he crosses for Dominic Calvert-Lewin who is sliding in and two yards out. A high cross to the back post finds Bukayo Saka and he brilliantly volleys the ball towards the bottom corner but Conor Coady gets back on the line to clear. Lovely corner from Saka to pick him out but the shot was a tough one to keep down. What an unexpected victory to blow the title race and relegation scrap wide open. 11, while Everton have a huge Merseyside derby at Liverpool on Monday, Feb. Arsenal host Brentford on Saturday, Feb. This is even more valuable considering the tackles, blocks, and interceptions you also get from elite attacking midfielder. Newcastle is just a different team without Guimaraes, as Sean Longstaff’s role changes and Joelinton has to chop back into midfield.
