Newcastle are hoping to end a winless streak with a continuation of their Carabao Cup run this evening. Redemption is on hand after a 2-1 defeat at Chelsea just a few days ago.

This is the side Eddie Howe has named against the Blues at St. James’ Park for a ticket to the quarterfinals. It has five changes from the weekend. The good news is Anthony Gordon is back in the team after missing out with injury.

Belief may be starting to wane on this campaign with Newcastle mired in the bottom half of the table. However, advancing in this competition is a very real prospect. A win today could jumpstart better days ahead.

Howay The Lads!

Can this team win ? Yes
But it makes it less likely that’s all some of us are saying.
No Tonali and one of the slowest centre back pairings in the league makes it less likely.

We know every single player will give 100% for the cause today folks, that is all you can conceivably ask for, lets just see where it takes us.

I call it as I see it before the game.
I will call a good and poor selection.
What’s the point of saying nowt until after the game? That has no credibility.
I suppose you think the players read this blog just before they go out?

If we show the same hustle and willingness to press that we did midweek, we won’t lose today

Great game from Gordon. Joelinton winning contests everywhere on the field. Willock looking dangerous whenever he got the ball. Longstaff given a lesson by Rice but kept at it. Defence solid, both fullbacks good

An update on my health situation - we have terminated the PluVicto treatment halfway through, because of the severity of the side effects - diarrhea, vomiting, and acid reflux.

And there was no evidence the treatment was having any positive effect in stopping the prostate cancer from spreading in the bones.

There are no treatments left for me to go on.

I will go into home hospice care now and will have a hospice nurse visit me at home regularly to ensure I am as comfortable as possible and we will treat the side effects of the treatments I have had.

It's down the final stretch now, and I have run out of treatments, and nature will now take its course.

I hope Newcastle can get many wins this season from now on, and I am at peace with all of this.

Thanks for all your help through the years - it's very much appreciated
