Newcastle United vs Aston Villa preview: How to watch, kick off time, team news, predicted lineups and ones to watch
Spirits are high on Tyneside at present as Newcastle United head into a Premier League clash with Aston Villa. A raucous St. James' Park witnessed United secure back to back wins for the first time this season as they romped to a 3-1 win over Everton on Tuesday night. Meanwhile Villa were also in midweek action, drawing 3-3 with Leeds United in a thrilling encounter that saw Barcelona loanee Phillipe Coutinho display his obvious qualities.
The Warm Down: Magpies battered by Foxes
Newcastle United suffered a crushing blow in their bid to remain in the Premier League after a 4-0 drubbing at the King Power Stadium. There was much optimism going into the game after United broke their Premier League duck last week with a 1-0 win over Burnley, but ultimately it was again misplaced. The Magpies hadn't looked too bad up until James Maddison dived to win a penalty, giving Youri Tielemans the opportunity to open the scoring from the spot.
The Warm Down: Eddie Howe's reign at Newcastle starts with draw
The Eddie Howe era started with a draw at St. James' Park with Newcastle United drawing 3-3 with Brentford. Unfortunately, the new head coach was unable to be in the dugout as a result of a positive COVID test and he will have to wait for his first game in the home dugout at St. James' Park. The game was seen by many as must win for United but defensive frailties prevented the Magpies from claiming their first Premier League win of the season.
Graeme Jones on the challenge that Chelsea bring to St. James' Park
Without a win in nine league matches, all games are crucial for Newcastle United but they have a tough task on their hands tomorrow as they welcome the champions of Europe to St. James' Park. United weren't a great deal better against Crystal Palace last time out, put the point gained on the road will no doubt be something to build on for Graeme Jones and his team.
Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United preview: How to watch, kick-off time, team news, predicted line-ups and ones to watch
Newcastle United will be hoping that a trip to the capital will see a much needed first win of the season. Steve Bruce is no longer in the dugout for the visitors after his torrid spell as Head Coach finally came to an end this week and interim boss Graeme Jones will be hoping to inspire his boyhood club to victory over Crystal Palace. United's new owners watched on as their new side fell to a disappointing 3-2 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last time out.
Steve Bruce talks team news, Dwight Gayle and takeover ahead of Wolves trip
Steve Bruce took questions on a wide range of topics following another interesting week at Newcastle United. Bruce's Magpies travel to Molineux to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers, still in pursuit of that elusive Premier League win. Each of the last five meetings between the two sides have ended in 1-1 draws but the feeling amongst fans on Tyneside at the moment is that nothing but a victory will do.
Steve Bruce confirms Joe Willock six-year deal in pre-West Ham press conference
Steve Bruce addressed the media this morning ahead of Newcastle United’s season opener with West Ham United this Sunday. Joe Willock looks set to sign on the dotted line for a six-year contract and unsurprisingly he was a major talking point. Bruce also addressed the goalkeeping situation, any further potential incomings and issuing an injury update ahead of the opening game.
Newcastle United 2021/22 season preview: Can the Toon build on a promising end to last season?
By Harry Roy, Alex Wood, Dan Wright, Liam Ryder and Harry Crowe Strap yourselves in Newcastle United fans, because here we go again. The Magpies kick-off their brand new Premier League campaign this Sunday against West Ham United looking to build upon a 12th placed finish last season; a position that truly looked unattainable just weeks before the end of the campaign in May.
Newcastle United 2020/21 season review: A draining campaign that ended on a high
By Harry Roy, Alex Wood, Liam Ryder and Dan Wright A proposed takeover rumbling on in the background for over a year; the first major coronavirus outbreak of any Premier League club; a training ground bust-up that was plastered over the back pages of national newspapers; rumours of a dressing room 'mole'; and a head coach who survived the sack after winning only two games in 20 – all the hallmarks of a season that is still, after all of that, considered relatively normal at Newcastle United.
The Warm Down: Brilliant Magpies stun the Foxes
Not even the most optimistic of Toon fans would have expected the events of last night to unfold. Newcastle United were absolutely brilliant and thoroughly deserved their 4-2 win over the Champions League chasing Leicester City. Joe Willock found himself on the scoresheet again after he capitalised on a poor mistake from Caglar Soyuncu to net his fourth game in as many goals for the Magpies.
How Newcastle United should approach Liverpool clash
Joe Willock's headed winner in the 3-2 triumph against West Ham United moved his side considerably closer to safety and any sort of result at Anfield would do the same. The Magpies' Premier League status had looked to be in some serious doubt but back to back wins have eased the worries whilst also relieving some of the pressure on Steve Bruce.
Why Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin must start against West Ham
Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin could be in line for a return to Steve Bruce's starting 11 for the clash with high flying West Ham United. The latter was the match winner last time out despite being limited to a substitute role. His goal and assist at Turf Moor saw Newcastle claim three massive points in their bid to stay in the division. Wilson did not have such a big part to play but it was still great to see the top scorer back in action after a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
The Warm Down: Awful Newcastle thrashed by Brighton as pressure continues to pile on Steve Bruce
Newcastle United lost further ground in the battle to stay in the Premier League as they lost 3-0 to Brighton and Hove Albion. Goals from Leandro Trossard, Danny Welbeck and Neal Maupay inflicted another huge blow to the Magpies who have now won just two of their last 20 games in all competitions. This was just another pathetic showing from Steve Bruce's men that shows just how and why they have gone from a position of mediocrity to grave danger in a matter of months.
The five key quotes from Steve Bruce's post-West Bromwich Albion press conference
Newcastle United did very little to boost their chances of staying in the division as they limped to a goalless draw with West Bromwich Albion. In what is looking increasingly likely to be a Championship fixture next season, it was the Baggies who showed the majority on initiative to try and claim three points but they were left without reward.
Who should get the nod to replace Callum Wilson in Newcastle United's relegation run in?
Callum Wilson has been a shining light in an otherwise dismal season for Newcastle United and it will be a tough ask to replace the England International for whoever is tasked with leading the line. The 28-year old forward has scored 10 goals and set up a further five for United in the Premier League, which means he has been directly involved in a staggering 57% of his sides goals.
The Warm Down: Magpies suffer defeat at Old Trafford as relegation worries intensify
Newcastle United fell to their eight defeat in their last 10 league games, putting the Magpies' Premier League status in further doubt. Steve Bruce's men were not awful on Manchester and they did have some joy as they pressed high up the pitch but individual errors cost them dearly. Marucs Rashford fired Manchester United into the lead on the half hour mark in a move that was not Emil Krafth or Karl Darlow's finest hour.
Why Newcastle should not change tactics for trip to Stamford Bridge
Newcastle United have shown vast improvement of late following a change in system that means they are more aggressive in their approach. In the three games since the change of tact, the Magpies have picked up six points with wins over Everton and Southampton and they could consider themselves unlucky not to get more against Crystal Palace. There have been much needed improvements in almost every area of Newcastle's game and as such the club's survival hopes have been given a big boost.
The five key quotes from Steve Bruce's post-Southampton press conference
A spirited display by Newcastle United saw them hold on to claim a vital three points despite being reduced to nine men. A debut goal for Joe Willock and a brace from Miguel Almiron saw United go into the break 3-1 up, with Takumi Minamino scoring for the Southampton.
Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace preview: How to watch, kick-off time, team news, predicted lineups and ones to watch
Newcastle United and Crystal Palace both come into the game on the back of vital Premier League wins that have distanced both clubs from the drop zone. Four points separates the two sides with Palace sitting 13th on 26 points and the Magpies 15th on 22. The hosts shocked everyone in their impressive 2-0 win at Goodison Park at the weekend. A rare brilliant performance by United was topped off by a second half brace by Callum Wilson that took the striker to 10 goals for the season.
A look at DeAndre Yedlin's Newcastle career highlights as he edges closer to Galatasaray move
After four and a half seasons, it seems that DeAndre Yedlin's Newcastle career will be coming to an end before the month is out. The American international was part of Rafael Benitez's squad overhaul as he looked to prepare the Magpies for an immediate return to the Premier League. Arriving from Tottenham Hotspur, Yedlin has played a crucial role in helping the side win promotion back to the top flight and maintaining the clubs place in the division.
The Warm Down: Much improved Magpies stun the Toffees
A brilliant Newcastle United display saw them pick up a well earned and much deserved three points at Goodison Park. From the very first whistle, United were energetic and aggressive in their play and there is not a single player leaving the pitch in a horrible luminous shirt that didn't give absolutely everything for the badge.
Andy Carroll or Dwight Gayle: Who should partner Callum Wilson against Leeds?
Since declaring that he was going to do things 'his way', Steve Bruce has opted for playing two strikers. In both of the defeats against Arsenal and Aston Villa, it has been Andy Carroll that has patterned the former Bournemouth man. With no goals scored in either games, there are question marks over whether this is the best way duo for when United welcome Leeds United to St. James' Park.
The Warm Down: Aston Villa take full advantage of hopeless Newcastle
Newcastle United reached the halfway mark in their Premier League campaign in the same manner that they fulfilled the majority of the previous 18; devoid of enthusiasm, skill or any ideas. The scoreline was not a fair reflection of the proceedings at Villa Park and the fact the deficit was only two will most likely keep the hapless Steve Bruce in a job for a little longer. You would have been hard pushed to find a pulse in Newcastle, as they once again shot blanks in the Premier League.
The five key quotes from Steve Bruce's post-Arsenal press conference
Newcastle United's dismal run of form continued at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal never had to get out of first gear to see off Steve Bruce's side and the result moves them into the top half of the Premier League table.
The five key quotes from Steve Bruce's post-Sheffield United press conference
Pressure mounts on Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce as his side became the first team to lose against Sheffield United in the Premier League this season. The Magpies were not helped by the dismissal of Ryan Fraser on the stroke of half time, but such was the lacklustre nature of the performance prior to that, defeat always seemed to be on the cards in Yorkshire.
How have Newcastle fared in last five FA Cup Third Round clashes ahead of Arsenal tie?
Newcastle United have the tedious task of heading to the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup. The form book suggests it will be a tough evening for the Magpies with the club winning just two of their previous 10 FA Cup ties at the first time of asking. In addition to this, Newcastle have lost each of the eight times they've played at Arsenal since Andy Carroll scored the only goal of the game in November 2010.
The best moments of Newcastle United's 2020
Fond memories of 2020 are few and far between for most people and this is certainly no different for Newcastle United fans. The year started on Tyneside with a thoroughly miserable 3-0 defeat at home to Leicester City with former Magpie Ayoze Perez opening the scoring and the unpopular Hamza Choudhury hitting home the last. Picking a 'moment of the year' is relatively straight forward, mostly down to the fact it's been a poor year on and off the pitch.
