Now two changes for Arsenal as Kai Havertz and Declan Rice are replaced by Viktor Gyökeres and Mikel Merino.

Hull make a couple of changes as Mohamed-Ali Cho and Lewie Coyle are replaced by Joe Gelhardt and Brooke Norton-Cuffy.

None of Fulham's matches have been decided by more than a goal this season. They have all been tight affairs.

This game is opening up as Noni Madueke is picked out by a cross on the far side of the box but he drills his shot straight at Konstantinos Tzolakis.

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca makes three alterations to the side that beat RB Leipzig in the Champions League in midweek.

Captain Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol and Jeremy Doku come in for Matheus Nunes, Nico O'Reilly and Phil Foden.

Marc Guehi starts after being dropped for the last Premier League game.

Man City XI: Donnarumma, Khusanov, Dias, Guehi, Gvardiol, Anderson, Fernandez, Ndiaye, Cherki, Doku, Haaland.

William Osula releases Yoane Wissa and he nudges into the side netting from a tight angle.

Starting to feel like this is destined to be 0-0.

Hull break again, this time the ball is worked to Mohamed-Ali Cho and he gets to the edge of the box before his shot is deflected behind by Ezri Konsa.

A good ball across the top of the box finds the feet of Sander Berge, who is in loads of space and drills a shot towards the bottom far corner but he drags it agonisingly wide.

Big chance.

The Hull bench is collecting yellow cards, this one appeared to be shown to manager Sergej Jakirovic.

Mohamed-Ali Cho and Christos Tzolis tussle as Hull go route one. Cho goes down and thinks he should be given a free-kick but the referee decides it was a fair battle.

Great start to the second half. Newcastle have been better.

Fulham have been sloppy, they want to play it out from the back all the time and they keep giving it away.

Sean Steur is down and in need of a bit of treatment. This would not be ideal news for Newcastle.

Lucas Gourna-Douath slides in and takes out Riccardo Calafiori with a badly-timed tackle and Arsenal have a free-kick some 35 yards from goal.

Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice exchange passes before the former whips in a cross that Nobel Mendy heads away.

That looked like it would be the moment Newcastle unlocked Fulham as the ball is shifted across by Yoane Wissa and Harvey Barnes tries to wrap his foot around it but ends up clipping the outside the post.

Arsenal get the second half under way.

Back under way at Craven Cottage.

Fulham have failed to score a first half goal in six of their last seven Premier League games, although they've only lost one of the previous six matches (W2 D3).

Meanwhile, Newcastle have failed to score in the first half of five consecutive Premier League games within a single season for the first time since October 2024.

That is a very controversial VAR intervention at the Emirates.

A player who is in an offside position only becomes active when they commit an offside offence.

Kai Havertz must be "attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball" - otherwise the shirt pull by Nobel Mendy takes precedence. The foul comes before any offside offence.

Havertz did not commit an offside offence, and this should have been a spot-kick to Arsenal regardless of the offside.

We saw this a couple of seasons ago between Newcastle and Bournmouth. Fabian Schar was just offside but pulled back as he moved to run onto a free-kick delivery. A penalty was awarded after a VAR review.

Arsenal are not having this all their own way. They’ve certainly not dazzled in the final third, and have been wasteful at times.But Hull deserve a huge amount of credit for that. They’ve been compact, but not at the expense of an attacking threat. I think they’ve surprised a few with their desire to go forward. Perhaps Arsenal have been slightly taken aback by that approach too?
