A great win today has given us a small chance again of making the CL spots.

For us to get there though I do truly believe we must win this game. Easier said than done but I think we have to or we likely miss out.

 
No one is going to help us other than ourselves, a point would be a decent result but we must be Utd...everyone else is...certainly can't drop 3 points here that's for sure..

Agreed but in order of importance if we win 2 of our 3 games then it has to be Newcastle and Forest ahead of Utd.

If we beat Newcastle and Forest then we are guaranteed top 5. Two wins that include 3 points against Utd doesn’t guarantee top 5 and would require us to get 7 points from our final 3 games to guarantee top 5 as it stands.

This is the biggest game of the season for me. So much riding on it and a lot of permutations.

As Villa and Brighton proved, Newcastle are beatable. However if they get two wins, they are guaranteed CL so they will be looking to beat us and their game vs Everton.

We’re going to need to fight them as they are gritty and nasty. Does our squad have it in them to fight and be nasty?

 
4 points from these next 2 games essentially means we just need a draw against Forest on the final day.

True.

Though I really do think a win here is very important, and our midfield with Lavia grants us a slight chance. Huge game. Win and I think we get cL. Draw and is difficult. Lose and I think we have blown it.

I really hope we can have a rare treat of enjoying your gifs from St.james Park...

 
Latest updates around who will miss out, and who could return, for Newcastle:

Fabian Schar rated at 50/50, Kierian Tripper likely to be available.

Out, possibly for the season, Lewis Hall, Matt Targett, Jamaal Lascelles, Joelinton.

Midfield battle is key.

Both Caicedo and Enzo don't like Bruno, so they will for sure be up for it. Lavia will do what he usually does hopefully too.

Still think Joelinton being out is massive.

 
I really hope the players and manager see this game as a must win, rather than must not lose.

We win, that leaves us in a really good position with Newcastle playing Arsenal next.

A draw would be meh, an opportunity missed.

It is.he is an underrated midfielder. Him, Tonali and Bruno is a heck of midfield.key battle like you said.

Though will see what impact them having a lethal striker, and us having Nico, will have.

Should be a good match not traditionally a happy hunting ground for us though would not be surprised if this time we come away with 3 points and then mess it up by drawing with Utd at home.
