Newcastle United are facing a season-defining day of destiny on Tuesday with matters on and off the pitch to be decided.
The day will start with eyes still on the transfer window but as the hours tick by, the countdown to kick off for the decisive League Cup semi-final second leg will mean the nerves are well and truly jangling. With Newcastle looking to complete the move for incoming Anthony Gordon there could still be a late strike for West Ham's young defender Harrison Ashby.
The outgoing business could see exits for Karl Darlow, who Hull have claimed victory for with a loan move until the end of the season, while Matt Ritchie and Ryan Fraser are also interesting a clutch of clubs. In the Under-21s Niall Brookwell and Matty Bondswell could be possible loan departures too.
