Newcastle v Qarabag: Line-ups confirmed as Magpies build on huge first-leg lead
Gordon is rested after last week's heroics.
Newcastle are looking to rubber-stamp their progress in the Champions League after last week’s 6-1 smashing on the road.
Anthony Gordon plundered four goals as Newcastle took a stranglehold in Baku.
Gordon sent records tumbling in Azerbaijan – including the fastest hat-trick from an English player in the competition, the first Newcastle player to score four in a Champions League game, and becoming the Magpies’ highest scorer in a Champions League campaign with 10 goals.
Will he be rested tonight? Here’s how the sides shape up.
