纽卡素国王 - 2008-4-5 19:41:00
Reading (h)We attempt to extend our Premier League winning streak to three matches for the first time since December 2006.
And the visit of Steve Coppell's side gives us the chance to continue our 100% record on Tyneside against the Royals in all competitions - played 5, won 5.
Kick-off today is at 3pm.
This game is well on the way to another sell-out, with only single seats remaining on sale from the SJP Box Office and via 0191 261 1571 (both 8am-8pm), in club shops away from SJP and online here.
The visitors have taken an allocation of 1,900 seats in Level Seven and were on course to sell them all.
Marco's match prediction for the game is for Geremi to follow up his account-opening strike last week by scoring the first goal of the match at SJP against the Royals.
Success for the man from the Cameroon would see refunds on all food & drink bills for pre-match diners at the restaurant on Dean Street - opens noon.
NUFC: To follow...no new injury problems following the victory over Spurs, with Viduka returning to training at the back end of the week.
Ramage, Diatta, Edgar, Emre, Carroll and Forster all appeared for the reserves on Monday night, but the Turkish midfielder is out again after getting a whack on the leg during that game.
Given, Milner, Carr and Cacapa remain on the injured list, while 'Zogbia's absence from the sixteen at White Hart Lane was due to a minor knee injury that will also exclude him from participating on Saturday.
Michael Owen goes into this game looking to extend his club scoring run to four Premier League matches.
Although Obafemi Martins managed this in Feb 2006 in the league and UEFA Cup combined, it's not been done by a Newcastle player since Alan Shearer achieved it in Nov/Dec 2003.
Owen has never scored against Reading in his career.
He currently sits fourteenth in our all-time PL scorers list with fourteen goals, four behind his colleague Obafemi.
Shearer remains way out in front with 148, followed by messrs Beardsley, Cole, Ferdinand, Solano, Lee, Speed, Ameobi, Bellamy, Dyer and Robert.
RFC: To follow...Marek Matejovsky is suspended after being red-carded last week against Blackburn Rovers.
Reading were without five first teamers last week:
Jimmy Kebe (injury tbc), Graeme Murty (knee), Glen Little (heel), Brynjar Gunnarsson (groin), Emerse Fae (malaria).
Of those, Little returned to play just over an hour of Tuesday's 2-0 reserve win over Portsmouth at Aldershot.
Kalifa Cisse played in that one and is set to replace Matejovsky at SJP.
Another injury worry at present is Chairman John Madejski, who fell and broke his ankle in two places and is uncertain whether he'll able to attend.
PS: Striker Leroy Lita won't feature, being one of fourteen players Reading currently have out on loan at other clubs (he's with Charlton for the rest of the season).
Like Newcastle, March has seen something of a resurgence for Reading, with three wins and a draw from their five games ending a winless streak of nine that stretched back to before Christmas.
Away from the Madejski things started well for the Royals with a scoreless draw at Old Trafford in August.
However that was followed by six straight defeats on the road including a 2-1 reverse at the hands of the mackems.
Points were then taken in December from 1-1 draws at Birmingham and West Ham, before another loss of form saw them endure four more consecutive losses.
A first league away win since April 2007 (15 attempts) then brought them three points from a trip to the smoggies, before normal service was resumed last time out with defeat at Anfield.
All told, their haul of six points on the road is inferior only to Derby's three point total, while the 36 goals to have flown past their custodian [size=-1]Marcus Hahnemann[size=-1] are only exceeded by the 40 that have hit the Rams net.
PS - watch out for ex-Newcastle midfielder and dirty mackem moaner Kevin Dillon, often to be seen in the strutting around the Reading technical area.
Dill was captured in full whinge mode by TV cameras last weekend as stormed on to the field to bleat at (Toon sympathising) referee Mark Clattenburg - who must have regretted not having a set of keys to jangle at him.....
Ref: Lee Probert - first full season in the Premier League for this Gloucestershire-based whistler.
This will be only his tenth top-flight contest and he's yet to show his red card.

Royals in Toon:
2006/07 won 3-2 (Premiership)
1989/90 won 4-1 (FA Cup)
1989/90 won 4-0 (Lge Cup)
1968/69 won 4-0 (FA Cup)
1899/00 won 2-1 (FA Cup)
Our only other top-flight meeting with Reading at SJP came in December 2006, when Sibierski put us ahead but James Harper scored twice before the interval.
Obafemi Martins then tumbled in the box just before the hour mark before getting up to fire the resultant penalty home for his first league goal on Tyneside.
And just six minutes remained when a fine Emre shot wrapped up the points for Glenn Roeder's side.
上赛季联赛曾3:2战胜过reading也是唯一的英超对赛往绩了，在主场5次交锋纽卡保持全胜，加上是保级大战，能胜出基本就保级成功了
