纽卡素国王 - 2008-3-15 11:43:00
Next Monday sees us return to Premier League action at St.Andrews, with an 8pm KO forlive Setanta coverage.
This fixture gives us an opportunity to complete a winning double over the Blues, but failure to collect three points would extend our winless league run to thirteen games.
We are in 15th place just three points above third-bottom Bolton but the Trotters have a game in hand over us. Birmingham lost 4-2 to Portsmouth on Wednesday which left them in 17th position two points behind us (see table).
Kevin Keegan's last visit here as Newcastle boss saw his side win an eventful midweek game 3-2 in November 1992, en route to promotion.
Our goals came from Gavin Peacock, Kevin Scott and a Trevor Matthewson OG, while City equalised twice against goalkeeper Tommy Wright who was carrying an injury.
In the days before goalkeeping substitutes, Wright was replaced at half time by midfielder Kevin Brock, who kept a clean sheet despite suffering from concussion after being kicked in the head early in the second half.
The victory was overshadowed to some extent however by the death of club director Stan Seymour in a nearby hotel that same night.

Carr and Emre are expected to miss out, while Viduka is back in training but doubtful, along with Given who is resting his groin injury after a visit to a specialist in Belgium confirmed no immediate need for an op.
Earlier news that Milner was expected to recover from the foot injury that forced him off at Anfield was overly -optimistic and he's now set to be sidelined for between two and three weeks. Barton is available for selection.

Cramlington-born defender Martin Taylor is suspended, while midfielder Olivier Kapo (hamstring) is also absent.
It could be a case of beware the new father again on Monday for Newcastle, with Blues striker James McFadden named as a sub at Pompey, just hours after being present as his wife gave birth.
Blackburn match winner Matt Derbyshire found himself in the same position recently, celebrating his goal at SJP with a baby-rocking gesture.
In McFadden's place at Fratton Park was Mauro Zarate, who made his first senior start for the club. The Argentinean-born striker turns 21 the day after we play at St.Andrews.
Ref: Howard Webb, who gave the last minute penalty at Fulham in his previous Toon game in charge that handed us our last Premier League victory.
