What TV channel is Newcastle United v Borussia Dortmund on? Best ways to watch live and highlights of the game

Newcastle United look to maintain an unbeaten start to the Champions League group stage when they face Borussia Dortmund at St James’ Park on Wednesday night. Eddie Howe’s side started the campaign with a hard-earned point at the San Siro before demolishing PSG 4-1 last time out at St James’ Park.

Up next, however, is a very tricky test against a Borussia Dortmund side who, although they are winless in the Champions League this season, are still unbeaten in the Bundesliga. Edin Terzic’s side will undoubtedly prove to be another stern test for the Magpies as they look to progress from the ‘group of death’.
