Newcastle Alerted to 'Dodgy' PSV Eindhoven Problem to Expose in Champions League

Newcastle needs points to secure progression from the Champions League group stage while PSV fights to avoid elimination, with over 50,000 fans expected at St James' Park.

  • On Wednesday, Newcastle United host PSV Eindhoven at St James' Park in the final league-stage Champions League game, with a capacity crowd and Shayne Given DJing pitch-side before kick-off.

  • As Newcastle prepare for their first Champions League fixture of 2026, a strong result would carry historical weight, following wins against Union St Gilloise, Benfica, and Athletic Club, with Jack Grealish engaging in pre-match plans.
  • PSV arrive having played only their fourth match since December 21, with Rian Rosendaal, Voetbalzone football editor, warning they remain dangerous despite concerns about coping with Newcastle's physicality and stadium noise.
