So the juggernaut that was once Del Boy's three-wheeled van thunders on. Next in opposition come the extravagantly named Brighton and Hove Albion, up from the south coast to try and deflate all the optimism that surrounds a new look Newcastle United.
They have produced a knock-out punch far too often in the past but this is different. This is about the Geordie Giant and On-Loan Matt, rejuvenated midfielders Big Joe and Little Joe, Duracell bunny Fraser and a whole different mindset. It is above all of course Dan Burn's match. A Newcastle season ticket holder who confirmed his reputation with the Seagulls and is now back home to face his old club.
Already a cult hero, fans are dying for his first goal just as much as they are with Chris Wood. One of the most significant changes which has led to United's resurgence has been a huge tightening of a porous defence in which Burn has played a major part.
