Alexander Isak is here for this afternoon’s clash with Brighton. But will he be risked? #NUFC

A strong XI, with Harvey Barnes returning on the bench.

Kieran Trippier returns after his strong showing vs Arsenal #NUFC

#MCFC have lost just one of their last 34 PL games vs #NUFC, winning last 15 in a row at the Etihad 🏟️

They've also scored in their last 32 league games NUFC - only 3 teams have had a longer scoring streak against an opponent in top flight history.

So why do I feel slightly confident today?

Does the ever-present Fabian Schar face a battle to get back in this side in the short-term? Dan Burn solid yet again tonight, while Sven Botman looks to have returned without really missing a beat... #NUFC

Alexander Isak sets a new Premier League record for #NUFC after scoring in eight consecutive top flight games...

£150m gets you his left-foot 🇸🇪

A thigh strain for Harvey Barnes means he will miss around a month. Picked up the issue when crossing the ball vs Bromley.

Will it affect what Newcastle United do this month. Could we see Miggy stay put now?

Big blow for the player who failed to take his chance in FA Cup...

Not a great first-half but much improved in the second as #NUFC progress to the next round.

Thought Gordon and Bruno really helped change the game, while Miley was impressive from the start.

Some senior stars here for #NUFC this afternoon 👋👋
January 12, 2025 at 1:14 PM
Over 170 appearances for the club. If that is the end, what a way to go out.

Instrumental in keeping the club in the Premier League back in the day and superb over the last six weeks 👏 #NUFC

Much of the pre-match debate was which left-footed centre-back Eddie Howe would opt for in Fabian Schar's absence. Many thought it would be Lloyd Kelly but the Newcastle boss insists Sven Botman is capable.

"If Sven is in the squad it's because he's ready."

An Alexander Isak hat-trick tonight would see him match Alan Shearer for the most Premier League goals in a calendar year for #NUFC.

Isak has notched 24 in the top flight across 2024, while Alan Shearer holds the record with 27 goals in 2002.

Sven Botman is back! The Dutchman played 60 minutes of Newcastle United's U21 win over Chelsea this evening. 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱 #NUFC
December 16, 2024 at 8:53 PM
Can't believe how good Lewis Hall was again today. Can't believe Chelsea didn't want him. Can't believe he cost only cost £28m.

What a signing he is proving to be #NUFC

Jacob Murphy celebrates his opener by pointing to his ear before screaming "WHAT" towards the Gallowgate End. Clearly frustrated after missing chances before finding the net... #NUFC
December 14, 2024 at 3:51 PM
Interesting pre-match stat...

Ruud van Nistelrooy played five times at St James' Park during his career and scored on all five occasions. The joint best 100% record at a single venue [Tied with Vardy at the Hawthorns...] #NUFC

Big afternoon for Harvey Barnes as he gets the chance to impress from the start.

Sloppy play for Brentford's second goal but he's been full of purposeful running down the left in the first-half - and took his goal very well #NUFC
December 7, 2024 at 3:50 PM
Eddie Howe on Alexander Isak: "I thought that was his best performance of the season. It was a goal out of nothing for us. This season we've missed those. Those moments of magic can swing games your way." #NUFC
December 4, 2024 at 10:10 PM
There's been endless questions over the #NUFC midfield three but I thought tonight was the selected trio's best game in terms of playing together.

Bruno, especially in the first half, looked comfortable higher up the pitch and Tonali firmly finding his feet in this team. What an engine he has.
December 4, 2024 at 9:57 PM
Ready to go! #NUFC
December 4, 2024 at 6:27 PM
One moment of genius from #NUFC for the goal but other than a well-worked free-kick routine, that was a really poor performance going forward.

Thought the back five played well, along with Tonali...

Not the start #NUFC needed!
November 30, 2024 at 3:29 PM
Superb stuff by Wor Flags #NUFC
