The passionate North Londoners watch their fierce relegation rivals travelling north, facing a severely depleted squad during this crucial weekend.
The fierce Premier League relegation battle reaches an incredibly tense climax. The N17 faithful carefully watch West Ham United visit St. James’ Park. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo desperately needs points to keep their top-flight status intact, and official press conferences confirmed winger Adama Traore misses this trip, suffering from a severe muscle issue. He limits bench options, having potentially played his final game representing the struggling Irons. An improbable away victory will see the Hammers leapfrog Tottenham Hotspur by a solitary point.
The Lilywhites sit dangerously close to that dreaded relegation zone. Fortunately, the Magpies suffered a massive training ground blow. Chronicle Live reported that Joelinton will be missing this Sunday’s showdown. The midfielder secured a positive impact during their recent 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest, and manager Eddie Howe must rejig his depleted midfield engine room now. Joe Willock and Jacob Ramsey remain strong contenders, securing starting roles.

Further reports indicate that Antony Gordon remains physically fit currently. However, the winger expects to miss out following growing uncertainty surrounding his future there. Meanwhile, Fabian Schar and Tino Livramento lack any real progress regarding their respective ankle and groin injuries. Newcastle have nothing to play for except pride during this late Sunday kickoff. These fine margins could easily tip the scales favourably for the visitors. The North Londoners desperately hope the depleted Magpies secure an absolute victory.
