Meeting Highlights…8 CONSECUTIVE LOST
There are nine points still to play for. That’s what it is going to come down to. I keep frustration out of this place. I don’t live with that but it does feel like we will be happy for the league to continue but that is not the case. It is still a mission with the hope and belief that we can win a game in the toughest league in the world.
…EDDIE HOWE
He has been in this position for many years. What he achieved with Bournemouth will always command the respect of his peers. When you take a job like Newcastle, he has done something by taking them to the Champions League. A good coach, very talented and he has shown more with a better team.
…NEWCASTLE UNITED
They don't have a lot of weaknesses and they have a lot of strengths but anything is possible at Turf Moor. We played them before we started the Championship and they beat us 7-0. In that first pre-season, I already felt we were not ready to play these teams. Newcastle was our first view of what a Premier League team looks like for us.

Eddie Howe
Manager on Newcastle United…INJURY REPORT
Fabian Schar has a minor hamstring problem and is unlikely to return this season. Miguel Almiron, Joelinton and Nick Pope have all returned to training this week and will be assessed before Saturday. Kieran hasn’t trained with the group this week. He’s been away training by himself with our physiotherapist. We anticipate he’ll be back next week to train, hopefully. He could be involved before the end of the season.
…SANDRO TONALI
I think it’s the right decision the FA have arrived at, that his ban isn’t extended. We’re still supporting him and helping him through this time. He’s conducted himself in a really positive way. I’ve seen the hunger to return there all through the time. It was instant. When the whole thing started, he was very keen to hold his hands up and help uncover the extent of the problem. He was sorry for what he had done, he admitted he had issues and needed help and I think he deserves credit for that.
…DEFENCE SELECTION
In the centre-back position we're lighter than we'd like to be with Jamaal Lascelles, Sven Botman and now Fabian Schar missing but Emil came on and played really, really well last week. Emil has played well in that central position for us this year. I have no doubts over his qualities.
