Gameweek 6 concludes this evening with a Monday night battle at The Britannia. Mark Hughes’ side have yet to either score or pick up a point at home this season after losing both their opening fixtures in front of the Potters supporters – form in stark contrast to last season’s, where they lost at home on just three occasions.

Hughes’ troops will be buoyed by their visitors’ league displays. Newcastle have drawn blanks in both their road trips, though a midweek cup win at Hull, where new boy Emmanuel Riviere notched twice, will boost their confidence.

Mark Hughes makes just a single alteration from the side that drew against QPR last weekend, bringing in Mark Muniesa for Erik Pieters at left-back after the former notched twice in a cup win at Sunderland. Further up the field, Victor Moses, Charlie Adam and Mame Biram Diouf line up behind lone striker Peter Crouch.

For the Magpies, Tim Krul, Yoan Gouffran and Papiss Cisse recover from illness, though the latter continues on the bench as he’s eased back into action following a long-term knee injury. Daryl Janmaat and Cheick Tiote also retain their starting berths after overcoming knocks sustained in last week’s home draw with Hull.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      • 13 Years

  17. Sif
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I hope Mark isn't on his WC or Moses will start next week.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I think he played it this week

  18. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Crouch/Moses look like genuine budget options.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Moses always looks like an option

      never turns out to be

    2. Wax
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      They won't be playing QPR or Newcastle every week.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        True

  19. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Who'd you go for for the next 3-4 GWs, as I am targetting Walcott as soon as he comes back:

    A. Di Maria
    B. Silva
    C. Ozil
    D. Mata
    E. Downing

    ?

  20. Punty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Now QPR and Newcastle get a new manager before Liverpool meet them, typical:/

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Liverpool is shite either way.

      1. Punty
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        HAven't been more shite than Arsenal/Everton/Spurs/United so far this season, but your point only strengthens mine, we need to meet them without new proper managers

    2. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      We should beat them both even if Arigo Sacchi was in charge of them

    3. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Qpr?

    4. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Newcastle maybe, but TF won't sack Redknapp.

      To be fair Redknapp is the only manager who can actually stop a lot of the foolishness that the board did last time we were in the Prem.

  21. rickardinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Crouch was the smart pick instead of Ulloa... money (ie. price rises) talks though. And Ulloa plays this bunch of garbage in a couple of weeks as well πŸ˜€

  22. BabyB
    • 12 Years

    As a newcastle fan, it truly depresses me how shit we are πŸ™

  23. Wirtzle Gummidge

    Go Bego!

  24. Podge

    Sold Moses 😎
    A few weeks back πŸ™‚

  25. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Early goal. Perfect for us with no defensive players.

  26. Jax
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    finally a transfer paid off

  27. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
    • 15 Years

    OK, good, now Stoke to concede, too, please.

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years

      -1

    2. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…

      +1

  28. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years

    Any chance of a Bego assist or something πŸ˜› greedy owner here

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      or a repeat of this:

    Fair play to everyone that was promoting Moses this GW. There were a few of you.

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I got him. In Sky. Captained Shawcross, though.

    2. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Moses and Crouch were both great picks. Not as good as other options though
