83 min: Newcastle win a corner when Andy Carroll has a left-footed shot from outside the Arsenal penalty area deflected wide.
80 min: Newcastle double-substitution: Joelinton and Miguel Almiron off, DeAndre Yedlin and Elliot Anderson on. An 18-year-old from Whitley Bay, Anderson is making his senior debut for Newcastle. Congratulations to him.
78 min: Andy Carroll goes to ground halfway inside his own half, appeals to referee Chris Kavanagh to stop play and is ignored. Play continues with Arsenal on the ball.
77 min: Newcastle throw-in, half-way inside the Arsenal half. They lose possession when somebody or other fouls Pepe.
76 min: Saka fires over the bar from the edge of the Newcastle penalty area, after taking a pass from Ciaran Tierney.
74 min: Tierney stands the ball up for Aubameyang near the edge of the six yard box, but the Arsenal striker sends a looping header into the arms of Dubravka.
71 min: Pepe rides a challenge from Paul Dummett and advances towards goal and curls a shot from just outside the penalty area well wide of the far upright.
70 min: Newcastle substitution: Jacob Murphy on for Emile Krafth.
67 min: Both teams seem to have up it a gear, perhaps eager to avoid having to play extra time. That’s the spirit, lads.
Newcastle have a Premier League game against Sheffield United to play on Tuesday at 6pm, so they could definitely do without the overtime.
65 min: Arsenal double-substitution: Granit Xhaka and Bukayo Saka on for Joe Willock and Willian.
64 min: Joe Willock brings a very smart save indeed out of Martin Dubravka, getting on the end of an excellent Nicolas Pepe cross and sending a downward header bouncing goalwards.
63 min: Arsenal substitute from a couple of minutes ago: Emile Smith-Rowe on for Reiss Nelson.
60 min: Aubameyang runs on to a ball from deep down the inside left and tries to lift it over the onrushing Dubravka asnd steer it goalwards with the outside of his right boot. He succeeds in the first part of his fiendish plan, but not the second as his shot is weak and off target.
59 min: Newcastle are having the better of this second half, but a promising attack breaks down when Emile Krafth overhits a cross from the left.
56 min: Newcastle win a free-kick wide on the left. Matt Ritchie overcooks his delivery towards the far post, where David Luiz can only half-clear. Kieran Tierney fails to boot the ball clear with any conviction and Jeff Hendrick drives the ball into the mixer.
It’s on a plate for Andy Carroll, who steers the ball wide when it looked way easier to score. He’s flagged for offside but replays show he wasn’t.
55 min: Andy Carroll gives Bernd Leno a fright with an instinctive shot that takes a deflection. The goalkeeper saves comfortably.
53 min: In dire need of some cutting edge, Arsenal send Emile Smith-Rowe to warm up. Despite his inexperience, he has shown enough in recent games to suggest he might be just the man to pick the lock of Newcastle’s defence.
51 min: Nicolas Pepe shoots from distance, but doesn’t trouble Dubravka with a feeble effort that bounces wide of the right post.
48 min: Joe Willock conedes a free-kick about 30 yards from his own goal for a foul on Jeff Hendrick. It’s a routine from the training ground and Newcastle get the ball to Carroll, who heads wide from a long way out.
47 min: Arsenal free-kick, wide on the right, in line with the edge of the Newcastle penalty area. Pepe curls the ball across the face of goal, where Ciaran Clark heads the ball straight up in the air. It goes wide off an Arsenal player ... Kieran Tierney, I think.
46 min: Play resumes after a first half which passed quickly enough without either team playing particularly well. BBC pundits Alan Shearer and Ian Wright were both highly critical of their respective former teams, but Arsenal were undoubtedly in the ascendency.
Newcastle substitution: Matt Ritchie is on for Jamaal Lascelles. Paul Dummett moves to the left of Newcastle’s three central defenders and Ritchie takes up his spot as left wing-back.
Peep! The deadlock remains unbroken but Arsenal have been very much in the ascendency. They’ve forced several saves out of Martin Dubravka in the Newcastle goal, while his Arsenal counterpart Bernd Leno has had nothing to do.
45+1 min: On a scampering run through midfield, Almiron is pulled back by Cedric, who gets booked for his troubles. Free-kick for Newcastle, about 40 yards from the Arsenal goal. Sean Longstaff curls the ball towards Andy Carroll but it’s out of reach for the big man.
43 min: Relentless pressure from Arsenal, who are lacking somebody to make that killer pass that could put Newcastle in all sorts of bother.
Newcastle are to be commended on their disciplined defending, with Arsenal’s main source of danger being Ciaran Tierney and his crosses and pull-backs into the box from the left wing and byline.
41 min: Pepe takes the corner short, playing a give and go with Willian. Arsenal end up forcing another save out of Dubravka who concedes another corner. Nothing comes of this one, with Newcastle clearing the ball after Arsenal had pressed and probed around the edge of their area.
40 min: Another Arsenal corner, with Dummett putting the ball out again, this time during a tussle with Cedric.
38 min: Another delivery into the Newcastle box from deep is claimed confidently and comfortably by Martin Dubravka, who’s having a good game following his recall for this Cup tie.
38 min: Willian’s delivery from the corner flag is headed clear by Joelinton.
37 min: Paul Dummett heads a Ciaran Tierney delivery into the Newcastle penalty area out for a corner.
35 min: The camera cuts to the stands, where Gabriel Martinelli, who got injured in the warm-up, is opening a protein bar.
33 min: Good defending from Isaac Hayden after Pepe and Aubameyang combine well down the right. The Newcastle defender dispossesses Pepe with a well timed tackle near the edge of the Newcastle six-yard box, but his opponent made it easier for him by taking one touch too many when perhaps he should have squared the ball.
32 min: Kieran Tierney gets the better of Miguel Almniron and curls a cross into the Newcastle penalty area. Jamal Lascelles despatches back down the field with a firm header.
