1-1
I expect Newcastle to win. Despite not having their best striker, they still have some squad depth and so a win for Newcastle is my bet tonight.
@Crispers Plus, a win would ensure promotion for Newcastle, so plenty of motivation. At home as well... I'd be extremely surprised at anything other than a Newcastle win
