Just moments before kick-off in four crucial Premier League fixtures, every one beginning with tribute ceremonies.
Newcastle were horrible last week versus West Ham, according to Eddie Howe just admitted in his pre-match comments. “We have to produce a performance different. The match with West Ham proved difficult for us. We trust, we have learned plenty. Now we have to begin picking up results.”
On the winger: “He was not fit enough in the end. The scan showed a very slight issue in his hip and it’s an excellent opportunity for Harvey Barnes to step up.”
