Newcastle United host relegation-threatened West Ham United in the Premier League this afternoon.

Steve Bruce’s side have impressed since the restart and have taken seven points from their three league fixtures, including a 4-1 thrashing of Bournemouth last time out.

For West Ham, though, the threat of relegation still looms large over the club, despite a brilliant win against Chelsea earlier this week. David Moyes’s side are now three points clear of the relegation zone with six games remaining. Follow all the action below live at the conclusion of Burnley vs Sheffield United:

GOAL! Newcastle 0-1 West Ham (Antonio) 4 min

What a start for the visitors! Antonio starts off the move, cleverly laying the ball of to Fornals. The Spaniard plays a lovely through ball to send Bowen into the box, and his cross, with the help of some questionable defending from Lascelles, picks out Antonio, a few yards out from goal. The man who scored against Chelsea is on hand again to plant his finish high into the net and beyond Dubravka. West Ham lead.

2 min: The first suggestion of attacking intent in what has been a low key start comes from West Ham. Antonio nods the ball into the path of Lanzini, who tries to glide into the box but loses possession before he can shoot.

The players are out at an empty St James' Park. There'll be a moment of applause to celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the NHS, and then we'll be ready for kick off.

Allan Saint-Maximin is the danger man right now for Newcastle, and he put in the kind of performance against Bournemouth that suggests he is capable of going onto big things. There's plenty still to come from the 23-year-old Frenchman.

Steve Bruce, in his pre-match interview, challenges his players to push for a top ten finish. On the basis of recent form, it hardly seems unrealistic. Newcastle come into this game on the back of an emphatic 4-1 win over Burnley.

Their opposition this afternoon were in dismal form until the visit of Chelsea last week, but that 3-2 victory, sealed late on by Andriy Yarmolenko, will have given West Ham a huge lift ahead of today's game.

Newcastle make two changes, bringing in Isaac Hayden and Miguel Almiron. West Ham, unsurprisingly, are unchanged after the Chelsea win on Wednesday.

A point takes Burnley above Spurs and into ninth for the time being. Sheffield United stay in eighth, still with their eye on a potential Europa League place.

That's it! The points are shared, and that's probably a fair result. Both sides had spells and both had chances. Burnley will probably be the most disappointed with the result, though given their injury list and the number of games being played a draw is hardly a disaster.

90+2 min: Pieters sends a low, stinging shot towards the bottom corner, which Henderson turns behind. It looked to be heading wide but the goalkeeper didn't want to take the risk.

90+1 min: Four minutes of added time will be played.

89 min: The free kick is rolled into the path of Berge to strike, which he does with plenty of power. It's straight at Pope, who claims the ball at the second attempt.

88 min: Mousset does well to latch onto a long ball, get in behind Long and win a free kick. This is in a good position for the visitors.

85 min: A Burnley corner is sent straight down the throat of Henderson, who quickly releases the ball and sets Sheffield United off on the break. The final ball is lacking again, though. It's not really surprising that both goals have come from set pieces.

82 min: Burnley look for an instant response as Westwood sends a free kick towards the back post. Tarkowski is waiting, but McGoldrick does well to get his head to it first.

GOAL! Burnley 1-1 Sheffield United (Egan) 80 min

There's the breakthrough! Sheffield United work a short corner out to Osborn, whose ball in is headed on intelligently by Sharp into the path of Egan. The defender strikes his finish perfectly, picking out the top right corner and leaving Pope helpless. Burnley are breached at Turf Moor.
