Cautious Magpies can ease relegation fears at Huddersfield

3pm Saturday

Newcastle have been dragged back into trouble by a run of three games without a win but they can give themselves some breathing space by beating Huddersfield.

The Magpies' cautious style of play is well suited to road trips and their only away defeats have been inflicted by Manchester City (2-1) and Manchester United (3-2).

They have competed well in their other away games, winning one and drawing four, and they have a great chance to topple Huddersfield, who are weaker without injured midfielder Aaron Mooy.

Recommendation
Newcastle draw no bet
1pt 11-10 general
