Hello and welcome to our blog bringing you live coverage of Newcastle United's crunch clash against Cardiff City. United lost 2-1 on the opening day of the season against Tottenham but there were plenty of reasons for optimism as they created chances but failed to capitalise on them. The challenge will be very different against Neil Warnock's direct Cardiff City side and, ahead of the match, Jamie Carragher had a blistering critique of Mike Ashley There is no DeAndre Yedlin which means United must pick between youngster Jamie Sterry - who may be heading out on loan - and Javier Manquillo. Kick off, once again, is at 12.30pm as United kick off the day's Premier League fixtures. Join the Chronicle NUFC team as we bring you the latest team news, analysis and build-up from South Wales.

Newcastle had played for half-an-hour with 10 men following Isaac Hayden's red card when Cardiff captain Sean Morrison handled in the fifth minute of injury time. Kenedy stepped up to take the spot-kick but his weak effort was palmed out by Etheridge in what was the final moment of action, capping a miserable afternoon for the Brazilian. Etheridge became the first goalkeeper to save penalties in his first two Premier League games after also denying Bournemouth from the spot on the opening weekend. Cardiff XI: Etheridge, Morrison, Manga, Bennett, Bamba, Camarasa, Arter, Ralls, Murphy, Hoilett, Zohore. Newcastle XI: Dubravka, Dummett, Clark, Lascelles, Manquillo, Ritchie, Diame, Shelvey, Kenedy, Perez, Joselu. Isaac Hayden sent off Etheridge saves 95th minute Kenedy penalty Cardiff vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals, news and updates Cardiff vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals, news and updates CARDIFF 0-0 NEWCASTLE FT: Well that was tough to watch. Cardiff and Newcastle share a goalless draw at the Cardiff City Stadium in a clash that lacked quality. Up next for Newcastle is Chelsea, while Cardiff have a trip to Huddersfield. Let’s just try and put this game behind us. Up next we’ve got LIVE coverage of the rest of the Premier League action, and you can follow it here. CARDIFF 0-0 NEWCASTLE - SAVED! 96: Saved! Etheridge saves his second penalty in two weeks. It was a terrible effort with Kenedy tamely striking straight at the goalkeeper at a nice height. PENALTY TO NEWCASTLE 95: Oh the pain! Craig Pawson has awarded a penalty in the last minute of extra time. Muto’s cross hits the hand of Sean Morrison and the Magpies have a spot-kick! 95: Mendez-Laing dribbles his way to the byline before spanking a shot high and wide. I actually think that landed in Swansea. Cardiff vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals, news and updates 93: Hold on, lads. Just three minutes of this disaster to endure. Will we have a merciful late winner? 91: Kenedy takes it instead and it’s dreadful. Straight into the wall. Anyone have a clue why Shelvey didn’t take that?! 90: Danger! Now this would be painful for Cardiff fans. Harry Arter bundles Diame over a foot outside the penalty area in a central position. All eyes on Jonjo Shelvey as the fourth official holds up SIX minutes of added time. 88: Cardiff corner in the last two minutes. Calls places the ball down as the hosts pack the area. The ball bounces before Zohore stoops to head against Kenedy on the line. Cardiff vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals, news and updates 87: Newcastle are the ones applying the late pressure with Joselu seeing a fine snapshot blocked for a third corner in as many minutes. It’s wasted though and Cardiff look to break. 85: Close! Newcastle take it short and Shelvey tries to go solo but Bamba blocks his effort. Paterson on for Hoilett, who looked to be limping. 83: A headed clearance drops nicely for Mo Diame, who drills it into the ground and straight at Etheridge. Newcastle fans raise the decibel levels as Morrison knocks it out for a corner. This would be a real Smash and Grab if they can convert. 80: Harry Arter kicks out at Joselu, who looked to break and the referee gives a yellow. That was arguably more intentional than Isaac Hayden’s earlier. 79: Josh Murphy taken with 11 minutes of normal time left on the clock. Mendez-Laing replaces him. Cardiff vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals, news and updates 76: Harry Arter lines up a shot from distance and his effort whistles just wide. Now Cardiff introduce Bobby Reid in place of Camarasa. 73: Cardiff still trying to figure out how best to exploit the man advantage. They’ve poked and prodded but nothing to cause Newcastle any problems. 70: That’s put a spring in Cardiff steps. Josh Murphy has come alive again with a couple of bursts down the left side. Newcastle look happy to settle for a draw as Jacob Murphy replaces Ritchie. The twins are on! The second time it has ever happened in the Premier League. CARDIFF 0-0 NEWCASTLE - RED CARD 68: Sent off! Having dished out a red card to Phil Jagielka last weekend, referee Craig Pawson gives another. Substitute Isaac Hayden flies through the back of Josh Murphy with his studs up. Rafa Benitez won’t be happy but that looked dangerous to me. Correct decision and a huge advantage to Cardiff. Can they make it count?! 65: Hello Muto! Newcastle’s summer signing Yoshinori Muto replaces Ayoze Perez. 63: Close! Zohore breaks away down the right and spots Hoilett unmarked inside the six-yard box. His cutback from the byline is intercepted by the sliding Shelvey. Cardiff vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals, news and updates 60: We’ve reached the hour-mark. You would have expected Newcastle to try and boss this clash with Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal up next. Cardiff dictating terms as Hoilett wins a free-kick just outside the penalty area. Hoilett and Ralls standing over it… straight to Dubravka. Disappointing. 58: I like this Victor Camarasa chap. He joined the Bluebirds from Real Betis in August and looks made for the Premier League. Neat and tidy in possession with a good eye for a pass. 55: Cardiff fans are still booing former Swansea midfielder Jonjo Shelvey. Their commitment is impressive. Most supporters get bored after 20 minutes or so… Zohore has a free-header inside the six-yard box but he’s miles away with the effort. Cardiff have to take those. Cardiff vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals, news and updates 54: Cardiff have pinned Newcastle back inside their own half. The Toon can’t string any passes together or retain possession for any length of time. Rafa is NOT looking pleased on the sidelines. 51: Dubravka gets away with some ridiculously sloppy play. The goalkeeper rolls the ball out casually to Dummett but the pass is slow and short allowing Hoilett to nip in. His effort is blocked. 48: Matt Ritchie and Harry After, the former Bournemouth boys, have a clash of heads with the Cardiff man coming off worse. The medical staff are straight on the field and it looks like the pair will continue. CARDIFF 0-0 NEWCASTLE 45: And we’re back underway. Isaac Hayden replaces Javier Manquillo, who was injured, being roasted by Josh Murphy and on a booking. He slots in at right-back. Rafa Benitez was also in the ear of the fourth official. Not sure what he wasn’t happy about. Cardiff vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals, news and updates PASSENGER HT: Kenedy failed to complete a single pass in the first half against Cardiff - he is the first outfield Premier League player to fail to complete a single pass in 45+ minutes of play since Nikola Kalinic against Birmingham in March 2010. What an honour… TWITTER ROUND-UP Matt: How Newcastle are not down to 10 men for that intentional and malicious kick is beyond me too. He's going to be retrospectively banned for certain. Paul: This is the lowest quality Premier League football I have seen in a long time. Cardiff are no better than a mid-table Championship side and will be relegated for sure. Newcastle are absolutely abysmal to watch too, and calling themselves a "big club" is a joke! Rob: Whoever decided that Cardiff - Newcastle was to be broadcast on TV needs a talking to. Only thing poorer than the football is the referee for not seeing Kenedy's kick when he was three yards away. VP: Anyone know why they aren't showing live Premier League football this lunchtime? Sure a game was advertised. Have had to settle for this awful League One match between some team in blue and a team in black and white. Cardiff vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals, news and updates Cardiff vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals, news and updates CARDIFF 0-0 NEWCASTLE HT: This clash takes a commanding lead in the battle to be shown last on Match of the Day tonight. Plenty of feisty clashes all over the pitch but quality is lacking in attacking area. Kenedy should be off for a malicious kick on Camarasa but I suspect the FA will look into that at some point this week. 44: Danger! Kenedy, who should arguably have been sent off, is tripped by Manga just outside the penalty area. Shelvey and Ritchie standing over it… Shelvey hits it straight down the throat of Etheridge, the first Filipino to play in the Premier League. #NeatFact. 41: Manquillo and Murphy have another coming together but the referee deems the full-back’s barge as fair despite Cardiff fans appealing for a second yellow. Save! Etheridge gets down low to block Perez, who volleyed Shelvey’s floated ball from an acute angle. 38: Ralls finds Bennett with a nicely weighted ball on the left. He prods it into the area on the half-volley and Zohore glances wide under pressure. Cardiff vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals, news and updates 35: Ayoze Perez now showing frustration with the physicality of Cardiff. I suspect we could see a dismissal today if we continue like this. Shelvey looks for a Hollywood pass forward but he’s sent it straight into the arms of Etheridge. 33: Kenedy, you naughty boy. I suspect the Brazilian could see retrospective action for blatantly kick out at Camarasa. Referee Craig Pawson completely missed it but could easily have been a red. 30: Half-hour mark reached. Newcastle are shading the possession stats and shots on target (2) but there haven’t really been any clear-cut chances. Manquillo is booked for tugging Murphy back not once but twice in the space of 30 seconds. The Cardiff winger is causing all sorts of problems down that left flank. Cardiff pack the box abut Murphy decides to shank a shot high and wide into the stands. Poor. Really poor. 28: The game has settled into a rhythm now. And I’m afraid to report that it’s not a very entertaining one with both sides hoofing it into orbit every few minutes. I expected to Newcastle to show a bit more guile but Perez and Ritchie are mainly occupied in scraps all over the park. Cardiff vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals, news and updates 25: Newcastle have had as many shots on target (two) in the opening 11 minutes against Cardiff as they did in the whole match against Tottenham. 22: Harry Arter has started well. He’s pulling the strings in midfield and has nearly found the runs of Murphy, Hoilett, and Zohore. I’m not really sure why Eddie Howe allowed the midfielder to leave. Tidy player. 19: Ciaran Clark defends well against Zohore, who had exchanged passes with Josh Murphy in the box but couldn't get past. The Norwich signing continues to buzz around and has switched flanks to target Manquillo. 16: Cardiff are allowing Shelvey to get his foot on the ball and dictate terms from midfield. Neil Warnock needs to put a stop to that sharpish. Both sides working very hard but quality in the final third is lacking. 13: Ayoze Perez looking bright. He gets into the Cardiff box, but his powerful shot is kept out by Etheridge. 10: Off the line! Diame spoons the ball behind his own goal and concedes a needless corner. It’s swung in and Bamba heads it towards goal only for Perez to hack it clear. Early warning signs for Newcastle. 8: Cardiff owner Vincent Tan is watching from the stands today.<doc-sep>
