FOOTBALL 2008-2009 Premier League Newcastle Alan Shearer - 0

Newcastle v Middlesbrough (Monday, 20:00)

A defeat for either of these North East rivals, currently three points adrift of safety, would almost certainly result in relegation.

Newcastle's Spanish trio Nacho (Achilles), Jose Enrique (hamstring) and Xisco (toe) are not expected to play again this season, while defender Steven Taylor (thigh) and midfielder Alan Smith (ankle) are doubts.

Boss Alan Shearer is also sweating over the fitness of midfielder Alan Smith, who suffered bleeding inside his thigh during the loss to Liverpool.

Boro are missing three defenders through injury: Emanuel Pogatetz (knee), Chris Riggott (ankle) and Andrew Taylor (hip) are all out.

    Arsenal Vs 'Chelsea under Hiddink' is always a­ Thanks Giving time for Wenger. I think that is the­ reason Arshavin didn't start against Chelsea in FA­ cup Semi and he is 'ill' for the League game.­ Hiddink should leave Chelsea by May 31st

  16. The City players and Fans should enjoy this one. No­ matter what the outcome today the power base in­ Manchester will be changed next year. Fergie will be­ dribbling soon in his OAP home. A new non Man U manager­ will come to City and Utd will be sent back to­ obscurity for another 20 years.
