Newcastle v Paris Saint-Germain: Champions League – live

You want more on that aforementioned 3-2 win over Barcelona … as well as Newcastle’s last home Champions League game, a 2-0 defeat by the same opponents in 2003? We got it.

Eddie Howe speaks to TNT Sports. “It’s very special … you come here and see what it means to everybody … we want to succeed, do well, it’s going to be a big night for us … it’s about the detail, we’ve got to get it right … we have to be tactically aware of what we have to do … hopefully we have a fast start and it will settle us down … we come into this game in good form … we’ve got some very good players … underneath that ability, team spirit and commitment … a really tight group … we’ve come together as one … we’ve done our work on Kylian Mbappé, it depends on where he plays, out left or in a more central position, we’ve prepared for both.”

Newcastle have made one change to their starting XI from the 2-0 won over Burnley at the weekend. Sandro Tonali comes in for Elliot Anderson, who drops to the bench. The future Scotland/England international will be sitting alongside 17-year-old midfielder Lewis Miley, who started the recent League Cup victory over Manchester City. Joelinton and Callum Wilson are injured.

PSG boss Luis Enrique returns to the scene of his first Champions League appearance in a Barcelona shirt. He improvised Barca’s first goal in a 3-2 defeat to the Toon in 1997, the Faustino Asprilla match, forcing a Luis Figo cross past Shay Given from close range with the old nips. Tonight he makes four changes to his team from last weekend’s draw at Clermont: Warren Zaire-Emery, Lucas Hernandez, Manuel Ugarte and Goncalo Ramos replace Danilo Pereira, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz and Bradley Barcola, who are all benched.

Newcastle United: Pope, Trippier, Lascelles, Schar, Burn, Longstaff, Guimaraes, Tonali, Almiron, Isak, Gordon.
Subs: Dubravka, Dummett, Targett, Karius, Hall, Livramento, Murphy, Anderson, Miley.

Paris Saint-Germain: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez, Dembele, Ugarte, Emery, Muani, Ramos, Mbappe.
Subs: Navas, Fabian, Pereira, Vitinha, Mukiele, Soler, Barcola, Tenas.

Referee: Istvan Kovacs (Romania).

Newcastle’s return to the Champions League after a 20-year wait produced a highly encouraging draw away to last season’s semi-finalists …

… so can they go one better at home against the 2020 runners-up? PSG can assert some real dominance over Group F with a win at St James’ Park tonight, having won their first match 2-0 at Borussia Dortmund thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappé and Acharaf Hakimi. Newcastle will fancy their chances, though, having not lost at home in Europe since Deportivo La Coruña came to town in the 2006 Intertoto. Could be a cracker. Kick off is at 8pm BST. It’s on!
