Welcome to our live match centre as Newcastle United travel to face Steve Clarke's West Bromwich Albion, looking to erase the painful memory of last week's Tyne-Wear derby defeat to Sunderland.
Lee Ryder: Clarke on John Carver and #nufc staff: "It will be nice to see old friends but I hope I enjoy the afternoon much more than they do." #wba
Lee Ryder: Steve Clarke on #nufc fans: "I have great respect for them from my time working there. I had some very happy times on Tyneside." #wba
Lee Ryder: Ex-#nufc coach Steve Clarke programme notes: "It will be a tough day against an #nufc side looking to finally ensure survival."
Lee Ryder: Elliot; Debuchy, S.Taylor, Yanga-Mbiwa, Haidara; Perch, Cabaye (c); Gouffran, Sissoko, Gutierrez; Cisse. #nufc #wba
Alan Pardew's side sit eight points below West Brom, but The Baggies have not tasted victory in three games, and seen defeat in their last two.
A win for Newcastle would almost certainly see them retain their top-flight status for next season, but the task is far from easy facing Albion who are deservedly eight in the Premier League.
