Game On! NUFC v MUFC
Game On at St James' Park Good day everyone. I hope you're all locked in and ready for the game tonight.
Manchester United never seem to give us an easy rude and I'm sure that will be the case again this evening.
However the need for Newcastle to pull off an unlikely result is massive and doing it in a game where we're essentially expected to get nothing would be a very welcome bonus. But then we'll have to see what happens.
At the time of writing the match preview (which you can see here) we hadn't signed Henri Saivet and the deal was still at the medical stage. Subsequently he signed and it appears that we're also close to completing the signing of Jonjo Shelvey from Swansea.
A welcome boost but neither will be able to assist us this evening anyway so instead we turn to the 'older' heads.
For the team news check out the bottom of this article. I'll try and publish it one hour prior to kick-off but I have a poorly boy at home to sort out so may be delayed.
In terms of broadcasting we are live on BT Sport which is generally good news if you're looking for a stream. You can normally find a link in the 'comments' section below.
