Head to Head Records: Home v Sheffield United

FOOTBALL IS BACK! Not quite as we know it but it is back! We begin our restart to the season against Sheffield United at St. James' Park that was going to take place before the FA suspended the football calendar the day before this match was due to take place. Despite being in the bottom half of the table, we currently sit a safe eight points clear of the relegation zone with nine games remaining. But anyway, back to what this article is really all about, analysing our head t

Head to head: Chelsea home

Frank Lampard will be visiting St. James' Park for the first time as a manager this weekend in game that could go either way as the Sky Sports cameras will be in attendance. In the first half of the 20th century, we had an excellent record when Chelsea came up for a visit to Tyneside which puts our current great recent record in that same category to shame. In the years spanning from 1910 to 1954, we were unbeaten in 19 consecutive league matches at home to Chelsea - winning

Head to head records: Away v Wolves

Statistics show that Newcastle and Wolves have been fairly even in league matches against each other however Wolves have been more dominant over the Magpies in the FA Cup. However, in this fixture, Molineux has not been a happy hunting ground for Newcastle to visit in the top flight. Back in October 2011, goals from Demba Ba and Jonas Gutierrez gave Newcastle their first top flight victory at Molineux since September 1958, a barren run that features no less than 14 matches. W

Head to head records: Away v Man United

Two teams that were once arguably the two powerhouse teams of English football in the 1990s. Alex Ferguson against Kevin Keegan brought famous moments on and off the pitch that have been replayed over the years and have never been forgotten. Specifically the 1995/96 season when Newcastle were 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League. Towards the end of the season, Keegan reacted angrily to comments made by Ferguson which provoked an outburst live on radio which conclu

Head to head: Home v Crystal Palace

Statistics suggest that Newcastle United have been dominant as far as previous encounters against Crystal Palace are concerned. Prior to the 2018/19 season, Palace had a poor record on their travels to Tyneside having won one in the previous 16 visits. However, in April 2019, the record improved after a Luka Milivojevic penalty secured their first win at St. James' Park since March 1998 - something that helped was that Palace had an excellent away record in the 2018/19 season

Encounters with Burnley have been fairly even throughout history since their first encounter in 1895. Over the years, they have managed to achieve eight league doubles each against each other, leaving 34 seasons where neither team managed to achieve a double. As far as the Premier League is concerned, there has not been much history between the two sides but club history tells a very different story as Burnley were top flight regulars following the second world war up until 1

Considering the Premier League is without Middlesbrough and Sunderland this season, Aston Villa is arguably the club's biggest rivals in the Premier League following their unprovoked taunting of Newcastle fans in 2009 and 2016.

Both teams will be going into Saturday's game with good reason for believing they can take a positive result away from the game as two teams in struggling form go up against each other. A remarkable statistic about this fixture is that we have never played against West Ham outside of the league since the first league meeting in 1923. During this time, records would suggest that they have been fairly evenly matched throughout their respective histories. It was back in December

Chelsea have given Newcastle the blues over the years

Chelsea are one of few teams to have been ever present in the Premier League and have dished out some thrashings to Newcastle United along the way. Matches between the two sides have been rather eventful and not usually happy ones for the Magpies. Newcastle have only managed to muster up one league win at Stamford Bridge since the 1986/87 season and that came in May 2012 when Papiss Cisse scored one of the Premier League's most iconic goals as Newcastle finished above the Blu

Ayoze Perez will (most likely) be making his first league appearance against Newcastle on Sunday following his summer move away from St. James' Park. This is a fixture that Perez is no stranger to. He scored the winning goals for the Magpies in the last two meetings at the King Power Stadium, both of which gave Newcastle a huge boost in their survival bids to stave off the threat of relegation. Prior to the previous two meetings, Newcastle's recent record away at Leicester wa

The Premier League's bottom two sides go head to head at St. James' Park on Saturday as Steve Bruce will aim for his first win at St. James' Park as Newcastle manager. Watford's poor finish to the end of last season appears to have continued into the new season as they are the only team in the league yet to register a single point. Considering the Watford board are no strangers to the sacking culture in modern day football, Javi Gracia could well be fearing for his job. Despi

Newcastle United go to Tottenham's new stadium for the first time on the back of two defeats to kick off the new campaign. The last time Newcastle paid their first visit to a Premier League stadium was back in November 2006 in a 1-1 draw against Arsenal in the Gunners' first season at the Emirates Stadium. The trip to Tottenham has certainly provided interesting encounters in recent history with the Magpies having never come away with a draw from the North London club since a

Both of these teams go into the match on Saturday having lost their respective opening day fixtures against top six sides. Norwich have a few players in the squad with connections to Newcastle. Tim Krul was the Magpies' number one goalkeeper for five seasons, the Dutch goalkeeper managed to keep 49 clean sheets in a Newcastle shirt. Norwich's captain, Grant Hanley spent just over a year at the club and scored in the 6-0 win over QPR in September 2016 before his departure from

The new Premier League season will be kicking off this weekend and Newcastle, for the third consecutive season, will be at home against a top six side on the opening day. In many ways, it has been a difficult summer for Newcastle fans, one that will be remembered for the wrong reasons. Following the long wait on confirmation regarding Rafa Benitez's future at the club, many fans were livid that the Spaniard decided to part company with Mike Ashley and the club. There were num

It is incredibly difficult to envisage Newcastle getting a positive result away at Leicester on Friday night as The Foxes have shown an upturn in form since the arrival of Brendan Rodgers. It was in this fixture last season when the Magpies achieved their first win at The King Power Stadium after the stadium opened in 2003. Following that win which took place on 7th April last year, Newcastle climbed into the top half of the table, the first time the Magpies were a top half s

It was in this fixture last season that Mikel Merino, the day after making his loan move a permanent one, scored his only Newcastle goal in this fixture last season which was a late winner against a Crystal Palace side who had achieved their first points of the season in the previous week against Chelsea after losing their first seven league matches of the season.

A difficult home match against Everton awaits this weekend as the team look to bounce back from the disappointing 2-0 defeat at West Ham last weekend. To add to the disappointment, Sean Longstaff came away from that game with an injury that will rule him out for the remainder of the season. The 21-year old has really impressed during his time in the first team after stepping up in the absence of Ki Sung-Yueng. Longstaff and Isaac Hayden formed a formidable partnership in the

The evening kick off on Saturday will see us up against a West ham side who only narrowly lost to Man City at the Etihad in midweek. Despite West Ham's comfortable 3-0 win against us back in December, we do still possess a good record, especially in recent years against the Hammers. Our form over the past six weeks has placed us in the higher ranks of the form table thanks to one defeat in the last six matches, winning four of those in the process. In addition, we have only l

Everything regarding statistics of the two teams and how their respective seasons are panning out so far surely point to the makings of an almost certain Newcastle victory. However, at times, complacency in situations like this have been our biggest flaw but if we play as well as we usually do against the bigger teams in the Premier League, the Terriers should pose little threat to going back to Yorkshire on Saturday evening with any points.
