The fixture at St. James' Park - which is being shown live in the UK by Sky Sports - was due to get under way at 2.15pm (GMT) but has been brought forward by 15 minutes at the request of the broadcaster and then agreed by both clubs and the league.

This is following the postponement of Everton v Leicester City, which was due to be played at 12 noon. The Magpies' match remains live on Sky Sports.

Supporters who are attending the game are advised that they must complete a Covid status declaration before arriving at St. James' Park.

This simple online process requires fans to confirm they have a valid NHS Covid pass or negative NHS Covid test within the previous 48 hours.

Newcastle United supporters can complete the declaration here before 6pm on Saturday.
