Newcastle prediction

Unfortunately I won’t be catching this weekend’s game as I’ll be down in London for the NHL games that are being staged there but it is a pretty interesting game ahead of us tomorrow.

Newcastle have started relatively well this season and are probably in amongst our rivals for chasing a European spot this season, but they are hit by injuries to their forward line with Owen and Ameobi definitely out, whilst Viduka is doubtful – not to mention Joey Barton missing a return to Eastlands.

This is a big run of three games for us that will take us to through to ten games gone in the campaign and to get to the twenty point mark we need two wins and a draw from them.

I don’t think it is a stretch to suggest that goals will be hard to come by in this game, and despite Sam Allardcye having a decent record against us I back us being at home to be enough to win this 1-0.
