The confirmed Newcastle team v Athletic Bilbao has now been announced.

Eddie Howe’s side returning to Champions League action.

Tonight’s match sees United looking to make it three Champions League wins in a row.

After having won 3-0 against Benfica at St James’ Park, following the 4-0 away at Union S-G.

A win tonight would also make it five victories in a row at St James’ Park, in all competitions.

It would also ensure Eddie Howe’s side remain in the top eight automatic qualifying spots for the last 16 knockout stages, after four of the eight rounds of league matches.

Newcastle team v Athletic Bilbao:

Pope, Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Burn, Bruno, Joelinton, Tonali, Gordon, Woltemade, Barnes

So two changes to the eleven that started against West Ham.
