The match at St. James’ Park will be Newcastle United’s first since their Saudi-backed takeover was complete and tickets have completely sold out as fans flock to see the start of a new era without Mike Ashley in charge.
The Magpies have been linked with a host of fresh faces as they look to gradually transform the club into a trophy-winning team full of big names and a long list of honours.
Sky Bet are currently offering odds on Newcastle to sign hte likes of Philippe Coutinho, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to join the club before February of next year – in fact, Lionel Messi and Neymar are both only 33/1 to make the move from Paris to Tyneside.
