Eddie Howe will discuss ­Newcastle’s declining form with the club’s Saudi Arabian majority owners when a high-powered contingent from Riyadh flies into the north for a ­scheduled board meeting next week.

The delegation, led by Newcastle’s chair, Yasir al-Rumayyan, from the Kingdom’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) will quiz Howe face-to-face on his team’s run of eight defeats in 11 ­Premier League games. Before the meeting, Newcastle, who sit 14th, visit Arsenal on Saturday evening.
