Newcastle have a golden opportunity at St. James’ Park to stake a Champions League claim today. A victory and Newcastle will eclipse Manchester City into third with just two matches remaining in the campaign.
It won’t be easy as today’s foe is Chelsea, who are also pushing for a top five finish. The Blues bring a five match winning streak into this match after booking a place in the Europa Conference League final a few days ago.
This is the team Eddie Howe has named with Dan Burn likely moving to left back for the injured Kieran Trippier.

Comment #885It doesn’t tell the whole story but in the 9 league and Cup games that big Joe has missed through injury or suspension we won 6 drawn 1 and lost to city and Liverpool.

Comment #886Maybe scare mongering, but hearing Isak is not starting??
If so, I hope Osula does, as tired of Wilson.

Comment #889Hopefully we get a performance out of Isak to impress Arteta.
He can go for 150 mil for me. You can do a lot with that sort of money and Eddie would spend it well

Comment #890Afternoon All
So a huge huge game for the Toon today, i feel fairly confident we will be playing champions league football next season irrespective of the result today folks.
On the game today, i would feel a lot more confident if our lads were at full strength and not possibly missing some very influential players!!
But we are well used to Eddie pulling a few rabbits out of the hat, when we least expect it.
For my part i would be very satisfied we we came away with a point today.

Comment #898I dont think we’re going to play well today at all. I’ve a feeling we’re going to write this one off and focus on the Everton game. Just do t think they’re going to be up for it. And arsenal will be out for blood I think, they are also not safe and need this result too.
Keep it to a one score game and ill be happy.
