Newcastle arrive in the capital having stunned Europe with their 4-1 thumping of Paris Saint-Germain in midweek. Following the Magpies' biggest-ever victory in the Champions League group stages - plus a recent 8-0 thrashing of Sheffield United, an EFL Cup success over Manchester City and a 2-0 Premier League defeat of Burnley - they now seek their fifth straight win in all competitions. Such a result would help Eddie Howe's men leapfrog West Ham in the table.
