Leeds United (h)

Daniel Farke's side travel to Tyneside this evening for an 8.15pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports Cricket.

Newcastle go into the game unbeaten in their last 11 home league and cup fixtures.

The Magpies haven't lost any of the most recent five games against Leeds, but won just one. The other four all ended in draws, including each of the last three meetings.

Football Bobbles will have a stall outside the Trent House from 5.15pm. Card payments accepted.

(They'll be in the same spot for the forthcoming Bournemouth and Manchester City home games).

Team: Dan Burn, Anthony Elanga, William Osula, Jamaal Lascelles and Emil Krafth remain out. Jacob Murphy is doubtful with a hamstring issue.


Coral rate this game as follows:

NUFC win 7/10
The draw 29/10
LUFC win 19/5

New customers receive a £50 bet when staking £10 on the PL (T's & C's apply). Find those markets online here 
 

LUFC: Dan James is injured, with Joe Rodon, Jayden Bogle, Sebastiaan Bornauw and James Justin all doubtful.

Sean Longstaff is recovering from a foot problem and could be on the bench against his former club.

The Whites come to SJP unbeaten in their last seven games, having drawn each of their most recent three fixtures.

On the road so far this season, Leeds have won once (at Wolves), drawn three (Brentford, mackems and Liverpool) and lost the other six. That trio of stalemates have come in their most recent three games on the road.

The first PL meeting of the sides ended goalless at Elland Road back in August.

Referee: Michael Salisbury - first NUFC appointment for the Yorkshire official since he took charge of last April's 3-0 victory over Ipswich Town at Gallowgate.

Had to come to London
:
West End Boys

Following a successful run at Newcastle's Theatre Royal - with more dates there next summer - "Gerry & Sewell" are heading to London's West End later this month.

Filmed as "Purely Belter", Jamie Eastlake's stage adaptation of Jonathan Tulloch's book, "The Season Ticket" tells the tale of two Toon fans and their quest for their holy grail of Newcastle season tickets, despite being totally skint....

Tickets are on sale now for performances at the Aldwych Theatre between January 13th and 24th 2026, with seat prices starting from just £10 available online here

(FAO anyone buying theatre tickets may wish to note that NUFC are in action on Jan 13th, 18th and 21st).

PS: We had a pair of London theatre tickets up for grabs in a free competition, asking you to predict the final score at Old Trafford on Boxing Day.

There were multiple correct entries that necessitated a random draw. We'll publish the winner's name here when
he answers his email...

2025/26:
Right said Ed....

Asked why he favours Anthony Gordon over Harvey Barnes as his first-choice left winger, Eddie Howe said:

"I don't think Anthony enjoys playing on the right.

"I think Harvey is a lot more open to it and quite enjoys the freedom that the position gives him with our way of playing.

"Of course, that doesn't mean I can't play Anthony out there but if a player doesn't really want to play in that position.

"I think it's a difficult one to force a player to do it because I don't think you'll get the same kind of performances.

"Harvey is a player that's played across the midfield. He's very good in the lines and between spaces so I’m quite happy to play Harvey there.

"I think his number one position is the left and I know where he would ideally like to play but he's a goal threat off both sides and the stats would back that up. He's been really good off both flanks this year.

"He's just a very good all-round player and he turned the game for us on Sunday
(against Crystal Palace).”

Update:
White flight

League One Leyton Orient confirmed on Monday that the loan agreement for Newcastle midfielder Joe White had ended with immediate effect.

The 23 year-old made a season-long switch to the O's in July, but played just 46 minutes during three substitute appearances in the league, plus a trio of cup outings.

Injury contributed to that lack of pitch time, but after declaring himself fit in November, Joe featured in just one senior fixture - an EFL Trophy loss to Plymouth Argyle.

White's four competitive Newcastle games came during the 2023/24 season, all in the Premier League as substitute. His most recent public sighting as a Magpie were in the friendly loss at Celtic back in July 2025.

PS: Also heading back to SJP is reserve goalkeeper Aidan Harris, following his half-season loan at Coleraine.

Update:
Familiar faces

After suffering eleven straight league and cup defeats, ex-Magpie Alun Armstrong stood down as manager of National League Gateshead on Friday, but continues in a football development role at the club.

His replacement is fellow SJP old boy Rob Elliot, who left the International Stadium in October 2024 to become Crawley Town boss, but lasted barely six months in that post.

Another former Newcastle goalkeeper found himself a new club on Friday, Bournemouth signing free agent Fraser Forster for the remainder of the season.

37 year-old Forster has been without a club since leaving Spurs last summer and hasn't played competitively since December 2024.

Forster should be involved on Saturday when the Cherries visit SJP in the FA Cup.

Update:
Loan lads

Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):
A bad day at the office for the goalkeeper, part of the side beaten 0-3 at home by Levante in La Liga on Sunday.

Trevan Sanusi (Lorient):
A 1-1 home draw with Metz in Ligue 1 on Sunday saw winger Trevan remained unused on the bench.

Antonio Cordero (Cadiz)

The midfielder began on the bench for Sunday's La Liga 2 visit to Deportivo la Coruna, appearing for his debut in the 52nd minute. It ended 2-2.

Matt Targett (Middlesbrough):
Boro returned to winning ways at the Riverside on Sunday, defeating Southampton 4-0 in the Championship. Targett completed 90 minutes at centre half and claimed an assist.

Joe Brayson (Morpeth Town):
Ilkeston (a) NPL Premier Division, Saturday.

Travis Hernes (Groningen):
The midfielder played for Groningen U21s in late 2025 as he continued his recovery from injury. It's unclear whether he'll be available when Groningen's first team return to Eredivisie action at home to Breda on Saturday.

FA Cup:
Bournemouth (h)

Newcastle kick off this season's FA Cup campaign at SJP on Saturday when they host the Cherries in a Third Round tie.

It's an old-fashioned, non-televised 3pm kick-off and if the scores are level after 90 minutes, 30 minutes of extra time will follow ahead of a penalty shootout if required.

The winners will take their place in the Fourth Round draw, staged before the Liverpool versus Barnsley Third Round tie kicks off at 7.45pm on Monday week, January 12th.

Team: T

AFCB: It's anticipated that Antoine Semenyo will have completed his move to Manchester City before this tie.

Ahead of their trip to Tyneside, Andoni Iraola's side host Spurs on Wednesday, looking to end their eleven game winless run in the Premier League.

The Cherries reached the Quarter-finals of the FA Cup last season, having also made the last eight in 2021. Between those though came a trio of exits at the hands of lower league opponents - including non-league Boreham Wood.

Referee: Thomas Bramall - second Magpies posting of the season for the Sheffield whistler, following last month's 2-2 PL home draw with Spurs.

drew 0-0 at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League last September, Andoni Iraola's side due on Tyneside for the return this April.

This is the third time that the Magpies and Cherries have been paired in this competition - all in the Third Round.

Newcastle ran out 2-0 winners on Tyneside in 1973, drawing 0-0 down in Dorset in 1992 and then losing the replay on penalties after a 2-2 draw that followed an abandonment due to fog days earlier.

Carabao Cup:
Manchester City (h)

The Magpies are in Carabao Cup Semi-final first leg action on Tuesday, against Manchester City.

It's an 8pm kick-off at SJP live on ITV1 and Sky Sports.

The Citizens were allocated 4,893 places.

Both sides entered in the Third Round of this season's competition as a consequence of their Champions League involvement.

Eddie Howe's side have defeated Bradford City (4-1), Spurs (2-0) and Fulham (2-1) on Tyneside as they attempt to defend the trophy they lifted at Wembley last March.

Pep Guardiola meanwhile oversaw away wins at Huddersfield Town (2-0) and Swansea City (3-1) before seeing off Brentford (2-0) at the Etihad Stadium.

Two goals from Harvey Barnes gave the Magpies a 2-1 success over City in the PL at SJP back in November.

City have lost Josko Gvardiol with a broken leg, joining fellow defenders Ruben Dias and
John Stones on the injured list and prompting the recall of Max Alleyne from loan at Watford.

Also sidelined are Mateo Kovacic, Savinho and Oscar Bobb, while Omar Marmoush and Rayan Ait-Nouri remain in action at the AFCON Finals with Egypt and Algeria respectively.

Although he appeared for Bournemouth in an earlier round of this season's Carabao Cup, Antoine Semenyo would be eligible to play against us assuming his transfer to Manchester City is concluded in time.

Stats:

This is the sixth time that City and United have been paired in the League Cup and the first occasion since September 2023, when the Magpies won 1-0 on Tyneside.

Newcastle's 2-0 away success in October 2014 meanwhile remains our only league or cup victory at that venue in 22 visits to the Etihad.

NUFC v MCFC in the League Cup - all-time:

1975/76 F lost 1-2 (Wembley) Gowling
1994/95 R4 drew 1-1 (Maine Road) Jeffrey

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 and complete your purchase regardless. 

Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.

Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are gone.

On This Day in History
7th January


Born Or Died:

1862 John Robertson Auld born, Cumnock, Scotland. (1896-97)

Scottish international defender who began his career with Kilmarnock before moving on to Lugar Boswell and Third Lanark.

Signing for Queens Park in 1884, Auld won the Scottish Cup in 1889 before joining the mackems, for whom he played 115 games.

John became the first player to join United from their deadly rivals, making the move in October 1896 after picking up Division One winner's medals in 1892 and 1893.

Debuting in a 2-1 away win at Manchester City, Auld retired after just one season and became a Magpies Director.

He passed away in April 1932. 

1901 James Nelson born, Greenock, Scotland. (1930-35)

Scottish international full back who had played in Northern Ireland with Crusaders and Wales with Cardiff City before a £7,000 transfer took him to Newcastle in 1930.

Jimmy captained the Magpies to FA Cup Final success against Arsenal in 1932, (having previously finished on the winning and losing side in finals for Cardiff), 

Later appearing for Southend United, Nelson returned to Cardiff following his retirement in 1939, where he worked as a publican.

Raised in Belfast, Jimmy was once selected for international duty by Northern Ireland before his Scottish birthplace was known. He passed away in October 1965.

1950 Malcolm Macdonald born, Fulham. (1971-76)

Not universally adored by Toon fans only familiar with his post-playing career - but "Supermac" was an absolute legend in a black & white shirt (two Wembley visits aside).

Arriving at SJP in a Rolls Royce after his £180K arrival from Luton Town, the one-time full back began his playing career with Tonbridge before joining Fulham. 

Mac famously scored all three goals on his home debut for Newcastle in a 3-2 win over Liverpool in August 1971 - leaving the field injured in the act of trying to score a fourth.

Scoring over a century of goals to his name while clad in the number nine shirt, special efforts included a brace at Hillsborough to book our place in the 1974 FA Cup Final and two at Bolton in the same competition two years later. 

Malcolm's own favourite strike remains a thunderbolt at home to Leicester City - sadly not caught on camera.

Becoming a full England international while a Magpie, Malcolm scored all five goals against Cyprus at Wembley in April 1975. 

The replacement of Joe Harvey as United boss by Gordon Lee though was to end the love affair between player and club - Mac's reaction to the news ("Gordon who?") getting the relationship off to a poor start when it was reproduced as a headline in the Evening Chronicle.

Not fitting into the "no stars" team ethic of Lee, Macdonald played his last game for the club in April 1976, scoring twice in a 3-0 victory against Spurs at White Hart Lane.

Within weeks he was resident at their North London rivals Arsenal, moving to Highbury at a cost of £333,333.

57 goals in 108 games for the Gunners followed, but a knee injury forced him to retire from playing at the age of just 29, playing his final games in Sweden for the Djurgardens club in Stockholm.

Later spells as a manager at Fulham and Huddersfield Town followed, before a battle with alcoholism, two failed marriages and bankruptcy left him at a low ebb.

A PFA-financed knee operation (at a cost of £12K) marked a turning point in Macdonald's life and living on Tyneside, he worked as a football pundit on radio and at talk-ins.   

1985 Death of Albert McInroy, 83.
(1929-34)

Preston-born goalkeeper who came to the attention of the mackems playing local football for Leyland.

He moved from Roker to SJP in 1929 and was to make the reverse journey five years later. 

1985 Wayne Routledge born, Sidcup.
(2010-11)

Much-travelled right winger who first came to our attention back in November 2000 when appearing as a substitute for Crystal Palace in an FA Youth Cup tie at SJP.

Breaking into the first team in October 2001, Wayne completed a £2m move to Spurs in July 2005. Failing to win a regular starting spot at White Hart Lane though, loan spells at Portsmouth and Fulham followed - his Cottagers debut coming at SJP in 2006.

Aston Villa paid £1.25m for him in January 2008, but the following season saw Wayne loaned out again, joining Championship side Cardiff City in November 2008.

Seemingly set to make the move permanent, the January 2009 window instead ended with Wayne a Queens Park Rangers player.

Appearing for QPR in their 1-1 draw at SJP in September 2009, Routledge was reunited with his former Spurs coach Chris Hughton at Newcastle four months later. 

Debuting against former side Crystal Palace at SJP, the first of three goals for Premier -League bound United came against Coventry City the following month.

Featuring in the first half of the next season, Routledge failed to impress incoming boss Alan Pardew and what proved to be his last game for the club was an FA Cup defeat at Stevenage in January 2011.

Returning to the Championship on loan at former club QPR later that month, Wayne helped them to promotion but opted to make a permanent switch to fellow Premier League bound side Swansea City during August 2011 for an undisclosed fee.

A League Cup winner against Bradford City in 2013, Wayne remained at Swansea and agreed a one year extension taking him past his 36th birthday in 2021.

However he announced his retirement that October, having failed to recover from a persistent knee injury.

Routledge later worked for Unique Sports Group, an agency with Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon among their clients.

1990 Alex Francis born, Low Fell.
(2005-08)

Central defender who joined the academy from Redheugh Boys, going on to feature at U18 and reserve level for United.

Alex appeared as a substitute for the first team in pre-season at Hartlepool in July 2007, but was released nine months later after fail to win a professional deal.
 
Signing for Gateshead that summer, he quickly came up against his old side in a  friendly at the International Stadium.

Studying at Gateshead College's Academy of Sport, Alex played for them and the English Colleges FA XI. 

Subsequent non-league service came for Blyth Spartans, Gateshead, Spennymoor Town, West Auckland Town, Darlington (trial), Dunston UTS, Bishop Auckland, West Auckland once again and Birtley.

September 2025 saw him announce his retirement following a serious knee injury.

The first-ever meeting of these two sides saw the Division Three South visitors hold their own at SJP for the opening quarter until Neil Harris put the hosts ahead.

Visiting goalkeeper Jack Cooper earned applause from home fans for his efforts, but was unable to prevent United from netting three times in just five minutes midway through the second period.

"A rattling good game"
declared The Journal correspondent, with a hat-trick by South African born England international forward Frank Osborne putting Spurs in the driving seat at half time.

United then scored twice in the second period before visiting custodian Willie Wilson pushed Dimmock's 71st minute penalty over the bar.

However reality then intruded as the hosts ran in two more goals, leaving the Magpies without a victory in 11 league matches.

Newcastle were forced into four changes for their visit to Anfield by an influenza outbreak.

David Bell deputised for Roddy MacKenzie, George Mathison took the place of Jimmy Murray and there was a debut for William Gallantree for Jimmy Richardson.

Jackie Cape also replaced Jack Allen.

1939 Brentford (a)

FA Cup 3rd Round 
Clifton(44), Mooney(56) 
27,551 
Second Division United recorded their first ever win over the top-flight Bees, thanks in part to an inspired display by goalkeeper Tom Swinburne at Griffin Park.

There was a debut for Willie Scott, signed by United from Aberdeen after he scored five goals in a reserve match for the Dons.

1950 Oldham Athletic (a)

og(McCormack)(3), Milburn(6,72,74) Walker(25,85), Mitchell(61)
Spurdle(10), Haddington(49)
31,706
A remarkable tie at Boundary Park saw Third Division North Oldham dominate their top-flight visitors for long periods, but end up on the wrong end of a sizeable defeat.

Ray Haddington missed a 73rd minute penalty before further Newcastle goals added gloss to the final score.

United were credited with an interest in Oldham's first scorer Billy Spurdle, but the Guernsey-born winger joined Manchester City and lined up against the Magpies in the 1955 FA Cup Final.

1950 At Gallowgate meanwhile, the reserves beat Manchester United 5-0 in the Central League, Tommy Thompson hitting a hat-trick. Joe Sibley and Andy Graver also netted.

FA Cup 3rd Round 
Neale(19,32,85), 
Allchurch(29), Woods(49)
36,037
Duncan Neale was an unlikely hat trick hero on his FA cup bow, also marking his Magpies league debut with a brace against Fulham.

United wore white shorts with home shirts, in order to avoid clashing with the white shirts and black shorts of the Cottagers.

1967 The scheduled home game against Manchester United had been postponed 24 hours earlier due to a frozen and snow covered pitch at Gallowgate.

Similar conditions at Old Trafford meanwhile saw a Central League meeting between the two sides also called off.

With both teams going on to lose in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup, the First Division game was rescheduled for the delayed Fifth Round weekend in mid-March.

Masson(60)
37,225 
When visiting 'keeper Phil Parkes failed to hold a stinging shot from Irving Nattrass, Alan Gowling was on hand to turn home the loose ball at the Leazes End, ending his personal goal famine.

Don Masson then levelled for the R's before Mickey Burns saw his goalbound header pushed away by David Webb, Tommy Craig firing home from the penalty spot to take United through.

1978 Peterborough United (a) 1-1 (1-1)
FA Cup 3rd Round 
Hudson(21)
Sargent(28)
17,621
Something of a rearguard action for United at London Road, who held out for a replay after Gary Sargeant's header had cancelled out an earlier Rocky Hudson effort.

The Posh thought they'd won the tie in the final seconds when Jack Carmichael headed in, only for the referee to disallow it for an earlier foul by ex-Magpie Tommy Robson.

1989 Watford (h)
0-0 
(0-0)
FA Cup 3rd Round 
24,217 
Game one of what became a four match FA cup marathon against the Hornets saw the out-of-form Mirandinha drop to the bench, failing to break the deadlock when he arrived to partner fellow flop Rob McDonald.

1991 48 hours after his FA Cup baptism against Derby County, it was back to FA Youth Cup action for Steve Watson. 

United lost 1-2 to West Bromwich Albion at SJP in the presence of Baggies first team boss Brian Talbot - who was sacked at half time.

1996 Chelsea (a)

FA Cup 3rd Round 
Ferdinand(90)
Hughes(35)

Les Ferdinand's equaliser in added time forced a replay after Mark Hughes had put the Blues ahead. 

Hughes went through his full repertoire of shirt and hair pulling, diving and kicking before finally being deservedly booked.

Live TV showed away fans exchanging pleasantries with Ken Bates and Dickie Attenborough in the Directors Box above their section at full time.

P20, 29pts, 6th/20
Shearer(4)
52,130

Alan Shearer's early strike gave Newcastle a first league win in four games, reclaiming sixth position in the table.

By the time referee Phil Dowd blew for half time though, Leeds could have been four down, after a Shearer effort and two from Kieron Dyer went desperately close. 

Visiting 'keeper Paul Robinson was also fortunate to escape dismissal, bundling over Dyer when he was clean through.

However, on a blustery night, United failed to build on their early advantage and were almost made to pay after Leeds staged a late rally following the arrival of future Magpie Michael Bridges as sub.

Alan Shearer kept his last trophy dream alive, beating Kevin Pressman to end the resistance of the Division Two Stags and save us from a trip to Field Mill.

That equalled Jackie Milburn's record of 200 league and cup goals, securing our 100th home FA Cup win and giving under-fire boss Graeme Souness brief respite.

2009 Shola Ameobi signed a contract extension keeping him at SJP until 2012.

An added-time winner from Jonas Gutierrez shot United into the FA Cup Fourth Round, avenging a Carling Cup exit at the hands of Rovers.

In the absence of top scorer Demba Ba, Hatem Ben Arfa scored a goal worthy of Lionel Messi - a mazy run and shot for a memorable first home strike.

That effort would later be included on a FIFA shortlist of goals of the season.

Given the line-ups and the way they played, this was a tie that neither side wanted to win - and unhelpfully had to be settled in a replay on Tyneside.

Daryl Murphy gave United the ideal start against fellow Championship club City, but when Aleksandar Mitrovic was stretchered off with a leg wound soon after, Dwight Gayle remained on the bench as Rafa Benitez turned to Yoan Gouffran.
