2026/27:
Leeds United (a)  


Newcastle return to Premier League action tonight at Elland Road - a venue where they remain unbeaten in each of their last three visits.

After the weekend's results the Magpies know that victory will take them up to third in the table behind the two 100% sides, Arsenal and Manchester City.

After none of the nine home teams in PL action over the weekend won, there are some online claims that an away win or a draw would complete an unprecedented fixture round with no home wins at all.

That's untrue however; the weekend of September 23rd 2000 seeing seven draws and three away wins - amongst them a 1-0 success for Charlton Athletic at SJP.

It's an 8pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports and all 2,960 away section tickets were sold. The usual ticket transfer window applies and closes at 3pm on Monday.

The Magpies are unbeaten in their opening five league and cup games, emulating season starts in both 2022/23 and 2024/25. However, they haven't improved on that since the 2011/12 campaign, when they went 11 without loss.

Team:
William Osula, Joelinton and Dan Burn remain out. Ewen Jaouen and Amar Dedic are doubtful.

LUFC: Joe Rodon remains out.

So far this season in the Premier League, Daniel Farke's side have won 1-0 at Nottingham Forest, drawn 1-1 at home to Brentford and repeated that latter scoreline at Brighton.

Leeds visited Chelsea in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, racking up a 2-0 lead before conceding six times in less than 40 minutes to lose 3-6. First choice custodian James Trafford spent the night on the bench.

Matthias Jaissle is set to encounter two familiar faces at Elland Road, with Leeds pair Brenden Aaronson and Noah Okafor part of his 2021/22 league and cup double winning side at Red Bull Salzburg.

Referee:
Michael Salisbury - the Lancastrian whistler's most recent Newcastle posting was for the epic 4-3 home win over Leeds back in January.

Premier League:
Festive PL changes

Despite the fact that the Premier League are yet to confirm live TV schedules for November and the opening weeks of December, Thursday saw them reveal the fixture programme for the Christmas and new year period:

All four of Newcastle's PL fixtures are altered as follows:

Sat 26.12.2026 Manchester City (h) 8pm Sky
Wed 30.12.2026 Nottingham Forest (h) 7.30pm Sky
Sun 03.01.2027 Chelsea (a) 2pm Sky
Thu 07.01.2027 Manchester United (a) 8pm Sky

The scheduling of the Old Trafford visit appears to preclude the staging of Newcastle's FA Cup Third Round tie 48 hours later, on Sat 09.01.2027.

U18s:
Youngsters taste defeat


Newcastle U18s  0  Manchester United U18s  2


Boasting a 100% record after their opening four games, Newcastle's U18 side were deservedly beaten at Little Benton after conceding a goal in each half.

The Red Devils came close to taking a 25th minute lead when Edson DeJonge-Seiros met Emmanuel Ziro's right wing cross but directed his header at 'keeper George Mair.

The 16 year-old forward wasn't to be denied for long however, firing in nine minutes before the interval after Jariyah Shah and Jaume Camacho combined.

The visitors coped better than the young Magpies with a swirling wind and sealed victory in the 90th minute when substitute Noah Ajayi ended a solo run into the box by slotting the ball beyond Mair.

Despite netting 16 times in their opening four games, the hosts failed to create a scoring chance of note - Mair's long punt downfield in the second half the only time that visiting 'keeper Charlie Hardy's clean sheet was threatened.

Defeat for Newcastle coupled with a 4-1 win for Manchester City over the mackems saw the Citizens replace the Magpies at the top of the North Group.

Team: Mair, Koussou (Afumuzor 74), Moran, Morgan, Healy-Matthews, Old, Gilligan, Seldon, Robinson, Skelton, Benjamin (Bowness 46 [Callaghan 79]).
Subs n/u: Holland, Patterson.

Booked: Robinson.

There was an U18 bow for Thomas Bowness, who was introduced as a half time substitute but was himself then replaced with what looked like a minor injury.

Update:
Hall: United we stand

Newcastle confirm that Lewis Hall has put pen to paper on a new five year deal keeping him at Gallowgate until 2031.

The defender turned 22 earlier this week and has been a Magpie for just over three years, following his arrival from Chelsea on an initial loan with a purchase obligation.

Debuting in the 8-0 win at Sheffield United, Lewis ended the season with 22 league and cup appearances and two goals - both scored against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

A lifelong Magpies fan whose father was born on Tyneside, Hall's progress prompted a first senior England cap against Greece in Athens during November 2024.

An injury sustained against Liverpool four months later ended his second season prematurely after 34 games and meant that he watched his colleagues win the Carabao Cup from home while recuperating from foot surgery.

Fit again for the 2025/26 campaign, Lewis swapped previous squad number 20 for number 3 and ended the season with 46 appearances in all competitions and another goal scored in Manchester - this time away at Manchester City.

Despite multiple man of the match awards for his club however, England boss Thomas Tuchel omitted Hall when making his selection for the World Cup Finals.

Instead of that he enjoyed a close season break, while a host of scurrilous rumours regarding an alleged dream move to Manchester United polluted cyberspace.

Hall follows colleagues Lewis Miley and Harvey Barnes by signing a new long-term contract at the club.

There's nothing to stop any of that trio leaving of course, but it does mean that the initiative regarding the timing, terms of sale and price shifts to the Magpies - with no release clause in Hall's deal (tbc about the other two).

Premier League:
Brighton (a) update

Confirmation of Newcastle's November Premier League schedule should appear soon, but it's already clear that the visit to Brighton will change regardless of TV meddling.

The Seagulls will be in UEFA Conference League action on the preceding Thursday, meaning that our Amex game won't remain as listed on Saturday November 28th.

The expectation is that we'll face Albion on Sunday 29th - although the Monday night slot is theoretically possible, a full midweek Premier League programme then follows.

Almost inevitably, the Brighton game coincides with yet another weekend closure of London Kings Cross and rail replacement buses from Peterborough to Bedford*

* LNER tickets aren't yet on sale for that weekend, but it's planned to run two services direct from Newcastle to Bedford and back as well as to and from Peterborough.

Whether they are of any use to Toon travellers though depends on when the Brighton game is scheduled.

There's also engineering work between Three Bridges and Brighton on Sunday November 29th. Thameslink advertise bus replacements, but an hourly direct Southern service between London and Brighton shows on journey planners.

PS: Before Brighton comes United's PL trip to Fulham on or around Saturday November 7th. The date and time is still to be confirmed, but with the November international break starting after, cannot move to Monday 9th. Kings Cross trains that weekend have no scheduled alterations.

U21s:
Minstermen up next

Tuesday sees Newcastle U21s play their opening EFL Trophy Northern Group C fixture, facing League Two side York City at the LNER Stadium.

That's a 7pm kick-off and if the scores are level after 90 minutes, then a penalty shootout will determine the victor.

A section of the West Stand will be open for Newcastle fans, with home followers in the East Stand. Tickets for both are on sale from YCFC, priced at £10 for adults +booking fee.

The tie is live on Sky Sports+

As well as those players out on loan, the Magpies will be without winger Park
Seung-soo, who is in the South Korea squad for U23 Asian Games starting in Japan this week.

Robbie Stockdale's side will make two further visits to Yorkshire in this competition, beginning with a game at Bradford City on Wednesday week, September 22nd. They then face Rotherham United on Tuesday November 3rd.

PS: This the first of two visits to the LNER Stadium this week for Newcastle U21s, with a PL2 fixture against Leeds United to be played there on Saturday.

That's a 12.30pm kick-off.

Loan lads:
The borrowers

Ousmane Diabate (Genclerbirligi):
Keeping his place in the side for Sunday's Turkish Super Lig home meeting with Kasımpasa, the 18 year-old netted with a right-footed snap shot from just inside the box after 23 minutes - a stylish way to bag his first senior goal.

However the midfielder ended up on the losing side as the visitors netted a winner in second half time added on. Ousmane (pictured wearing number 42) completed 90 minutes at the cost of a yellow card.

See his goal online here

Nick Woltemade (Juventus):
Arriving as a substitute away to Sassuolo in Serie A after an hour on Sunday with the game scoreless, the striker ended up on the wrong end of a 2-3 loss.

Sean Neave (Wolves):
Sunday's 1-0 win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane in the Championship was achieved with the forward on the bench.

Leo Shahar (Arouca):

The full back wasn't in the matchday squad on Sunday, as Arouca lost 1-2 at home to Santa Clara in the Primeira Liga
.

Rory Finneran (Notts County):
Rory played the full game for County as they lost 0-1 at home to Bradford City in League One on Saturday.

Anthony Munda (Swindon Town):
Anthony started the game at York City in League Two on Saturday. They were trailing 0-3 when he was substituted in the 77th minute with the Minstermen adding a fourth.

Alex Murphy (Kaiserslautern):

Alex started in his side's 0-3 defeat at FC Magdeburg in Bundesliga 2 on Saturday. He was subbed just after the hour when all the goals had already been scored.

Antonio Cordero (Cadiz):
Antonio was on the bench for the home game against UD Las Palmas in Segunda Division on Saturday. He joined the action in the 58th minute and two minutes later Las Palmas scored the only goal of the game.

Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):
A clean sheet for the goalkeeper in La Liga on Friday night, as Seville beat Valencia
1-0 at home.

Harrison Ashby (Luton Town):

The defender missed Thursday's 1-2 loss at Stevenage in League One due to injury.

Carabao Cup:
League Cup draw

Newcastle will learn their Fourth Round opponents in the Carbao Cup this Wednesday, when the draw is staged following the Manchester United versus Brighton tie.

Ties are scheduled for w/c Monday October 26th* between our PL trip to Crystal Palace on Sunday October 25th and the PL visit of Everton to SJP on Monday November 2nd.

* There are no potential European clashes for this round, meaning all ties should be played during this one week.

Update:
One in, one out


It's reported that ex-Magpie Paul Dummett has returned to the club in a development squad loan capacity, following Shola Ameobi's move to a corporate role.

The 34 year-old exited from Gallowgate at the end of the 2023/24 season, playing on for Wigan Athletic before a brief spell at Carlisle United ended with his retirement in 2025.

Meanwhile goalkeeping coach Adam Bartlett has left the Magpies after the arrival of Matthias Jaissle and his staff.

Playing for Newcastle as a youngster, the 40 year-old returned to the club as a coach in 2019, succeeding Simon Smith as head of the goalkeeping department in 2022.

ST holders have 24 hours to apply for away tickets, 24 hours to determine success, then 48 hours to buy.


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.

Regardless of the loyalty point level a game sells out at, to purchase a ticket you must have applied in the initial 24 hour window.

The initial 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 usually get two hours head start.

NB: emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase window opens - if you think you qualify due to your points total, log on and complete your purchase. 

Tickets not bought by successful applicants are then offered to unsuccessful applicants with a reduced loyalty points total - new applications cannot be made at this time.

Only those within the new loyalty point total are eligible to buy - even if you had more, your purchase window has already closed.  

PL away ticket prices are unchanged at £30 for the 2026/27 and 2027/28 seasons.

On This Day in History
14th September


Born Or Died:

1952 David Embleton born, Newcastle. 
(1971-72)

Youngster who failed to make a senior appearance during his time at SJP, played league football with Bury and Hartlepool as well as appearing for Gateshead.

David later worked for Newcastle Breweries as Director of Sales.

1957 George Reilly born, Bellshill, Scotland. (1985)  

Although born in Scotland, George grew up in the Tartan enclave of Corby, after his family relocated to the Northamptonshire town when his father got a job at the steelworks.

Beginning his football career at Corby Town, Reilly worked as a bricklayer before turning professional at Northampton Town and then moving on to Cambridge United. 

1983 saw him sign for Watford, appearing in the FA Cup Final at the end of his first season as a Hornet - although his side lost 2-0 at Wembley against Everton.

Newcastle had first expressed an interest in Reilly early in the 1984/85 season, but were unable to agree a fee and instead signed Tony Cunningham from Manchester City to boost their attacking options.

No sooner had that deal been done though that Watford opted to accept United's offer and Reilly also signed - both strikers being paired for the first time in a 1-0 home win over Luton Town in March 1985.

Reilly's first goal followed in the next game, with Cunningham also scoring in a 3-1 home win over Watford. However the pairing wasn't a success and the route one football that it encouraged saw Chris Waddle quit the club and Peter Beardsley seek pastures new.

(Beardo later wrote that: "I certainly didn't enjoy the way we played, neither did Waddle and I am quite certain the fans didn't like it much either.")

The highpoint of Reilly's time in Toon was probably scoring the only goal of the game to beat Liverpool at SJP in August 1985, but within four months he had departed - sold on to West Bromwich Albion following the signing of Billy Whitehurst from Hull City.

Reilly remained at the Hawthorns until 1988 before returning to former club Cambridge United and winding down his career at Barnet and returning to his bricklaying trade.

His 'Rambo' nickname was ironic and stemmed from his donning a black bandana in the style of Sylvester Stallone's fictional hero - although some of George's play was more reminiscent of Sly's approximation of association football in "Escape to Victory"... 

Perhaps his other nickname was more fitting - Mavis, in honour of the Coronation Street character Mavis Riley....

Those 1984 FA Cup exploits were to have a belated effect on Reilly, when he had part of his ear bitten off while working on a Corby building site in 2003.

The culprit proved to be a Plymouth Argyle fan, seeking revenge for Reilly's goal against the Pilgrims in the FA Cup Semi Final.  

Reilly commented at the time of the attack:

"I can't believe someone held a grudge for that long. I know people have strong loyalties but this is taking it a bit far."

George then admitted to a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in 2019 - an apparent legacy of his playing career.

1995 Stuart Findlay born, Rutherglen, Scotland. (2016-18)  

Central defender who arrived on Tyneside following his release by Celtic to boost United's development squad.

Scottish U21 international Findlay made a senior bow for Celtic in a friendly against Norwich City during 2012 but never played competitively for the Parkhead club.

Loaned out to Greenock Morton in 2014, he spent the following season at Dumbarton and the 2015/16 campaign with Kilmarnock as they avoided relegation under the guidance of former Magpie Lee Clark.

Stuart's first Magpie outing came against a team clad in green and white hoops - facing Bradford Park Avenue in a pre-season U21 kickabout during July 2016.

And his competitive debut was in a 3-0 away reserve win at Norwich City a month later.

Findlay was one of three senior debutants (along with Yasin Ben El-Mhanni and Dan Barlaser) in a 3-1 FA Cup home win over Birmingham City in January 2017.

Agreeing a season-long loan switch to Kilmarnock that August, he signed a permanent deal at Rugby Park in 2018 following his release by Newcastle.

Playing there for ex-Newcastle coach Steve Clarke, his installation as Scotland boss in 2019 resulted in a first senior international call-up for Findlay.

A first full cap then arrived that October, playing the entirety of a 6-0 win over San Marino and scoring Scotland's fifth goal.

Moving from Kilmarnock to Philadelphia Union in early 2021, Stuart returned to the UK with Oxford United a year later.

Loaned back to Kilmarnock for the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons, Findlay spent the following campaign at Hearts before a permanent switch came in July 2026.

The first part of a two-legged unofficial "Battle of Britain" was decisively won by the home side, with the visitors "humiliated" in the view of one local scribe.

However the English Cup holders would score five times without reply against their Scottish counterparts a week later in the return match at Gallowgate.

Both trophies were displayed on the Ibrox pitch before kick-off in this first leg.

Team: McInroy, Nelson, Fairhurst, McKenzie, Davidson, Weaver, Boyd, Richardson, Allen, McMenemy, Lang.

A week after a 2-5 reverse at The Hawthorns, United gained swift revenge in the return at SJP.

Visiting goalkeeper Jimmy Adams saved Tom Mooney's penalty with the score at 1-1.

The meeting of the two reserve teams in the Midlands the same day was also goal-laded, Albion running out 5-4 winners.

Centre forward William Scott hit the target on his debut following a transfer from Aberdeen, while Alf Garnham scored a penalty and William Isaac also netted. An OG by Bassett completed the scoring.

Newcastle left White Hart Lane rueing the loss of a point after dominating the second half. Jackie Milburn twice hit a post and Ted Ditchburn made a series of saves for the home side.

There was a debut for striker George King, who was left to rue missed chances after he failed to score in either of his appearances.

Having hit the woodwork four times in the first half, United buckled after the break and Alf McMichael headed into his own goal.

Former Magpie Roy Bentley then scored in front of a small Stamford Bridge crowd that gathered on a Wednesday afternoon before Frank Blunstone made it 0-3. 

The venue for the game between the First Division champions and FA Cup holders had been decided upon the toss of a coin.

TV cameras were present to capture footage for broadcast that same night, but rather fortuitously (for them) only recorded the second half. 

Team: Thompson, Lackenby, McMichael, Scoular, Brennan, Casey, White, Davies, Milburn, Hannah, Punton.

United ended a near-seven year absence from Europe at Dalymount Park - although there was as much action off the field as on it.

Ralph Callachan debuted on a night when the referee took the teams off just before halftime after as Magpies 'keeper Mick Mahoney was felled by a brick thrown from home fans housed in the Tram Shed End.

Lanky striker George Reilly celebrated his 28th birthday in fine style with a brace against the Baggies - having had two stitches in a head wound at half time.

And also celebrating was Magpies boss Willie McFaul, who had "Caretaker" tag removed from his job title
days earlier.

1988 Within weeks of joining Tottenham, Paul Gascoigne made his senior England debut as he replaced Peter Beardsley late on in a 1-0 victory over Denmark.

Hopes of a first home win of the season at the third attempt looked bleak when Tim Steele opened the scoring for Wolves visitors and Steve Bull netted yet again at his favourite away ground.

An own goal by Lawrie Madden didn't give the home support much encouragement, and attempts at an equaliser failed.

A fourth successive victory for The Magpies and a third goal for Alan Shearer, who swept his penalty past Tim Flowers after a Colin Hendry handball.

Les Ferdinand then made it five goals in just four games when he headed home a David Ginola corner, before Chris Sutton beat Pavel Srnicek from distance to set up a slightly nervy final few minutes.

Spot-on against his old club

1998 Goals from Scots duo Garry Brady and Paul Dalglish helped United's reserve side to a 2-0 win against Wrexham at SJP.

2002 United's U17s won 4-1 at Charlton, thanks to goals from Guy Bates (2), Paul Huntington & Danny Howe.

However, that victory was eclipsed by a 7-2 success for the U19s at Manchester United. Calvin Zola, Andy Ferrell and Richard Offiong bagged two apiece and Tommy English one.

New boy Antoine Sibierkski marked his United debut by scoring the only goal of the game at the A Le Coq Arena in Tallinn.

His strike partner Obafemi Martins wasn't so fortunate however and failed to open his scoring account for the club.

The lack of squad depth was highlighted when an injury to Titus Bramble forced Glenn Roeder to switch Peter Ramage to central defence and Damien Duff to left back - something that he'd be forced to do later on during his time on Tyneside.

2008 Club owner, Mike Ashley, announced that he was putting the club up for sale in a convoluted statement, released the day after losing at home to Hull City amid vociferous protests.

2009 Media speculation that Manchester United defender Craig Cathcart would move to SJP on loan ended with confirmation that he'd joined... Watford.

The Northern Ireland U21 international was close to joining the Magpies permanently in a deadline day transfer, only for the move to collapse - apparently on medical grounds.
