Newcastle currently sit inside the relegation zone, but claimed their first win of the season in their last home match against Burnley.

There was a typically high intensity at the CFA during Friday’s session, with the players intent on making sure there aren’t any slip-ups this weekend.

Nonetheless, there were plenty of smiles on show as well as we aim to maintain top spot during the busy festive period!
