The games are coming thick and fast as Newcastle United's march towards a Champions League place continues apace. Fresh from goal-laden wins over Tottenham Hotspur and Everton, the Magpies host bottom side Southampton at St James' Park today.

The Newcastle head coach must make some big decisions over his starting XI, with Jacob Murphy, Alexander Isak, Dan Burn and Anthony Gordon all pushing for a place. Here's all you need to know ahead of a big day of Premier League action.
