Newcastle United and already-relegated Sheffield United square off at St James' Park on Wednesday, as both sides look to continue fairly promising runs of form going into the final two matches of the season.
Although the visitors sit bottom of the Premier League table, they did record an impressive 1-0 away victory over Everton on Sunday, while the Magpies fell to a narrow 4-3 defeat at the hands of Manchester City last time out, and here Sports Mole rounds up the team news.
