Newcastle United RECAP: Saudi Arabian takeover talk emerges as Magpies draw FA Cup blank against League One Oxford
Newcastle United host League One Oxford United at St James’s Park looking to make it to the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time since 2006.
Steve Bruce looks set to field a strong United side, with new boy Nabil Bentaleb likely to make his Magpies debut after signing on loan from Schalke 04 earlier this week. The game comes around too soon for yesterday's loan capture – Valentino Lazaro – who will likely come in for next weekend's Premier League clash with Norwich City.
