Premier League:
Aston Villa
(h)
Eddie Howe's side attempt to extend their unbeaten run in
the Premier League to five matches when they host the
Villans at Gallowgate on Sunday.
It's a 2pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports.
Newcastle have won each of their last four home games
against Villa and are unbeaten in the most recent 17 SJP
meetings, since the infamous 0-3 loss in 2005 when the hosts
ended with just eight men on the field.
Team: Speaking to the media on Friday, Eddie Howe was
non-committal over whether Bruno Guimaraes would be
available for Sunday after his ankle issue against PSV.
Tino Livramento and Fabian Schar remain out, along with Emil
Krafth and Jamaal Lascelles. Jacob Murphy, William Osula and
Dan Burn are nearing returns but it's uncertain whether they
will be in the squad for Villa.
If he plays any part in the game, Joelinton will make his
250th competitive appearance for the Magpies.

Following completion of a loan exit to Roma for striker
Donyell Malen, Unai Emery recalled winger Leon Bailey

Referee: Jarred Gillett - second appearance of the
Aussie official at a Magpies game this season, following the

United's youngsters exited from FA Youth

their Crystal Palace counterparts at a rain-lashed Whitley Park.
David Angibeaud put the Eagles ahead from close range after a 29th
minute corner wasn't dealt with, Benji Casey then denied by home
'keeper Roman Dowell shortly after.
The visitors doubled their lead through Casey's 66th minute shot
before what was United's best chance of a goal saw Jack Mason turn a
Michael Mills effort round the post.
Angibeaud's second of the tie made it 0-3 with 15 minutes remaining,
before Casey added a fourth on 80 minutes to confirm a Fifth Round

Champions League :
PSG (a)

Newcastle round off their Champions
League, League Phase fixtures on Wednesday against PSG at the Parc Des Princes in Paris.
It's a 9pm kick-off local time, that's 8pm GMT.
NUFC fan guidance is
online
here
As in 2023, advice is to only use the Porte de Saint-Cloud Metro
station on line 9, with a reminder that Paris Metro travel isn't
included with match tickets for away fans.
A minimum 30
minute post-match hold-back is forecast, which proved accurate
in terms of exiting the stadium in 2023. However, it then took
at least as long again to be funnelled through a half-open gate
on to the street.
Ahead of this game, Eddie Howe's side are assured of a place in
the knockout phase play-offs: their goal is claim three points
and snag a place in the last 16.

Update:
David Young RIP

We're sad to report that former Magpie David Young has
died at the age of 80, following a dementia diagnosis.
The Tyneside-born midfielder enjoyed an extended run in the
club's reserve side after debuting during September 1964 -
making over 100 appearances and becoming captain.
Making his senior bow in a 2-1 friendly win over Hibernian at
Gallowgate in March 1968, David had to wait until January 1970
for a competitive appearance. That came in the Fairs Cup, as
United drew 1-1 with Southampton at the Dell.
A regular starter
the following season, the first of Young's two goals
came in a 2-1 victory at Derby County, but he struggled to
regain a place in the side after an injury in October 1971 and
was transfer-listed the following May.
No move followed though and fitness problems in the senior squad
saw David played in both defence and midfield during the opening
months of the following season.
What proved to be his 56th and final appearance came in a 0-3
home League Cup defeat to Blackpool in October 1972, completing
a switch to Roker Park alongside Ron Guthrie for a combined fee
of £35,000 in early January 1973.
An unused substitute for the mackems in their FA Cup
Final success later that year, Young later played for both
Charlton Athletic and Southend United before ending his playing
days at non-league Dartford.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to

Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
The purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division get a couple of hours head start.
Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log

On This Day in History |
|
24th January |

Born Or Died:
1940 Terry Melling born, Haverton Hill.
(1965-66)
 Forward
Terry was a late arrival at United, not
joining the club until the age of 25.
By then the former Durham Schools prospect
had played for the British Army while
serving in the Coldstream Guards -
postings in the South East of England
allowing him to turn out for non-league
sides Slough Town, Tooting & Mitcham
and Maidstone United.
By 1965 though he'd been de-mobbed and
returned to his native North East, working
in a shipyard and playing for Tow Law
Town.
Initially signed by Newcastle on amateur
terms, by December 1965 Melling had turned
professional and was an unused substitute
against both Everton and Leicester City in
Division One the following April.
Released by United in May 1966, Terry
joined Watford and finally made his league
debut in their colours, the Hornets
collecting £2,000 when selling him on to
Newport County in February 1967.
Later moves took Melling to Mansfield
Town, Rochdale, Darlington, Scarborough
and finally back to Tow Law Town.
His death was reported in March 2021.
1942 Herbert Garrow born, Elgin, Scotland. (1960-63)
Goalkeeper Bert arived from Scottish minor
league side Fochabers in January 1960,
despite his side losing 1-4 to Larkhall in a
Scottish Cup Fourth Round tie.
The teenager's form had attracted interest from a
host of clubs and the offer of a trial had come
from Chelsea the previous year - while Hearts,
Liverpool and Cardiff City all sent scouts to
watch him.
Bert's first
team debut for United came in a 3-1 home victory over
Blackburn Rovers during November 1960 - in
place of Brian Harvey.
However Garrow failed to keep a
clean sheet in his senior outings,
including a 5-5 home draw with West Ham United.
Later appearing for Horden CW, South Shields and Scarborough,
Bert won an FA Trophy
medal in 1973, as the Seadogs beat Wigan Athletic
2-1 at Wembley Stadium.
Garrow later served as both Secretary and
President of Stocksfield Golf Club and was
among a host of former Magpie custodians gathered
together for a reunion dinner on Tyneside during
2010.
Bert's former wife, Linda, is the daughter of United stalwart Benny Craig.

1976 Death
of Bob Pailor, 88. (1914-15)
Forward who joined United from West Bromwich
Albion as the Great War loomed.

1989 Ki Sungyueng born, Gwangju, South
Korea. (2018-20)

South Korean international midfielder Ki travelled
to Tyneside following his nation's exit from the World Cup
Finals in Russia and signed on a
two year deal in June 2018.
The 29 year-old was about to become a free agent
following a six year stay at Swansea City that had
included a one season loan to the mackems during
2013/14.
Beginning his career in Australia before a return
home to play professionally for FC Seoul, Ki
joined Celtic in 2009 before moving on to Swansea
three years later.
First sighted coming off the bench during a pre-season draw at Hull City, Ki's
competitive bow for United came in a 1-2 home loss to Chelsea in late August
2018.
Grabbing a starting berth after Jonjo Shelvey dropped out through injury, his
run of games was then halted that December by selection for South Korea's Asian
Cup squad.
However, a hamstring issue in the opening game sidelined him and prompted an
early return to Newcastle during January 2019.
His appearances were fleeting during the final days of Rafa
Benitez and a season under Steve Bruce before
exiting in January 2020.
Ki briefly joined Spanish side RCD Mallorca before returning
to South Korea in July 2020 with FC
Seoul.
After 138 appearances he then signed for K
League 1 side Pohang Steelers in 2025.

A solar eclipse made it go very dark in the second

had already eclipsed an in-form City who had just
thumped Liverpool 5-0.

1-4 (0-2)
FA Cup 4th Round
Hutchinson( 1-2pen)
Furness(5), Wainscoat(15,1-3), Mitchell(80)
40,261
United made the fatal mistake of wearing a red change
kit for a cup match (cf. Hereford 1972).
Leeds took the lead early on following a free-kick from
Jack Milburn (not that one, obviously!). Duncan
Hutchinson's penalty followed a handball by George
Milburn.
The Milburn brothers were cousins of Wor Jackie and
Uncles of Bobby and Jackie Charlton, all originally
hailing from Ashington.
1948 Leeds United (a)
1-3 (1-2)
Division Two
P27, 33pts, 2nd/22

Cochrane(15 ),
Wakefield(31,51)
30,367
The elimination of both sides from the FA Cup in the
Third Round saw this league game brought forward to
Fourth Round day.
Jackie Milburn scored against the side that his cousin
Jim was playing for.
It was Newcastle's third away game on the bounce and a third defeat,
following an FA Cup exit at Charlton and a league loss at Brentford.

1-2 (0-1)
Division One
P27, 26pts, 12th/22
Brander(74)
Lewis(30), Anders(82)
26,394
Preston maintained their
fine form at Deepdale despite the absence of Tom Finney
through injury - although an ankle injury suffered by Tom
Casey contributed to PNE's late winner.
There was a debut for Stan Keery, while George Brander
netted the first of his two United goals.
Magpies boss Stan Seymour wasn't at Deepdale, travelling
to Northern Ireland and watching the Ards versus Linfield
game. His target was reported to be visiting full back
Dick Keith, who eventually moved to Newcastle in 1956.
Also scouting players at Castlereagh Park was Will Scott,
the Preston North End Manager.
1959
Liverpool (a)
2-2 (2-1)
Friendly
White(15), Allchurch(33)
Morris(5,58)
18,449
Handed a free
Saturday following
an FA Cup 3rd Round loss to Chelsea, Newcastle were at Anfield for a friendly against a Liverpool side whose Wembley dreams
were ended by mighty Worcester City.
The Magpies flew on the morning of the game
and led at the interval, having scored twice in front of
the Kop.
The hosts levelled and believed that they'd won in the
closing moments when a shot hit the United crossbar and
bounced down - claims the ball had spun into the goal
leaving the linesman unmoved.
Team: Harvey,
McMichael, Keith, Franks, Stokoe, Scoular, Eastham, Scott,
White, Allchurch, Taylor.
1970 Everton (a)
0-0 (0-0)
Division One
P28, 29pts, 12th/22
42,845
Newcastle became the first side prevent Everton from
winning at Goodison that season, ending a run of 13
successive home league victories.
Much of the credit for the clean sheet went to goalkeeper
Iam McFaul, described by the Liverpool Echo
reporter as "magnificent".
1972
Hereford United (h)
2-2 (2-2)
FA Cup 3rd Round
Macdonald(3pen), Tudor(23)
Owen(1), Addison(25)
39,381
Torrential rain and snow saw this tie
postponed twice but it was staged on a Monday night, the Southern League visitors
taking the lead after just 17 seconds.
Malcolm Macdonald levelled soon after from the penalty spot, before John Tudor
put the hosts ahead, albeit briefly.
Colin Addison's long range equaliser then set up a replay at Hereford's Edgar
Street ground.
Bulls player/boss Addison said, "Adjectives can't describe what I think
of the lads' performance, I can just say it was bloody tremendous."
1974 Newcastle completed the signing of striker Alex Bruce
from Preston North End for £150,000,
as cover for John Tudor and Malcolm Macdonald.

After a 0-0 draw at Bramall Lane, The Blades were put
to the sword in this delayed Monday night replay - the
victory handing Newcastle a home tie against Manchester
City in the Fourth Round the following Saturday.
1981
Luton Town (h)
2-1 (1-0) FA Cup 4th Round
Clarke(5), Martin(60)
Ingram(64)
29,211
Having somehow won 1-0 at Kenilworth Road a week
earlier in the
league, the Magpies overcame David Pleat's promotion
chasing Hatters again - this time without the cup-tied Mick
Harford.
Ray Clarke gave United an early lead when he headed home a
Peter Johnson cross, before Mick Martin doubled the
advantage when he got his napper on a Chris Waddle centre.
Godfrey Ingram soon replied for the Hatters though to
ensure a nervous ending to the tie, which came close to
needing a replay when Ricky Hill's shot on 85 minutes beat
United 'keeper Kevin Carr but smacked off a post.
1986 Nottingham Forest (a) 0-3 (0-3)
Friendly
Bowyer(4),
Campbell(7,19)
4,000
United's FA Cup Third Round loss to Brighton left them
with a free weekend; Forest were similarly idle following
their elimination by Blackburn Rovers.
An East Midlands businessman brokered a deal that saw the
two clubs head to Bermuda a week of warm weather training
and a friendly meeting.
The trip wasn't as idyllic as expected; overcast
conditions, frequent rain and a knee injury suffered by
Billy Whitehurst in training that sidelined him.
David Campbell's brace and one for Ian Bowyer secured
victory for a Forest side boasting future Magpie Franz
Carr.
5,000 fans paid £12 each - double the cost of a stand
ticket at the City Ground a fortnight later, when United
beat Forest 2-1 in Division One.
Squad: Thomas, Anderson, Bailey,
McCreery, Clarke, Roeder, Ferris, Stephenson, Gascoigne,
Whitehurst, Beardsley, McDonald, Davies, Cunningham.
Wharton declined to attend, while Stewart was injured.
NFFC: Sutton, Fleming, Williams, Walker
(Smalley), Metgod, Bowyer, Carr, Campbell, Clough,
Davenport, Walsh (Robertson).

The Reds repeated their SJP scoreline and extended
their run of clean sheets to five games in the process.

Gavilan

Cheyrou(2,61)

Around 7,000 away fans were at Anfield for this
Saturday evening tie shown live on BBC1.
However, they had little to cheer aside from a stunning 35-yard
free-kick at the Kop End from Laurent Robert.
Bruno Cheyrou scored both goals for the home side, for whom
Michael Owen played the full 90 minutes.

It was a case of third time lucky for Joelinton as he
belatedly put Newcastle United closer to their first League Cup Final
since 1976.
The Brazilian
met
substitute Aleksander Isak’s centre
for the only goal, having seen an earlier effort
controversially ruled out by VAR and then blazed over from six
yards when it looked harder
to miss.
Former Magpie Adam Armstrong appeared to have bundled in a loose ball barely two minutes after the Saints fell behind, but
VAR revealed that Armstrong had
used his arm to propel the ball onto his own knee and then past Nick Pope. NUFC.com match report
