The kick-off at St James’ Park is now at 2pm rather than 2.15pm and it is not the only thing that has been moved at Newcastle. For the first time since Mike Ashley’s departure as the club’s owner in October, the Sports Direct advertising that previously covered the ground has been removed. Manchester City fear Pep Guardiola might not be there to see it following the manager’s inconclusive Covid test on Friday but, even if Guardiola is forced to watch from home, Eddie Howe could struggle to secure Newcastle’s desperately craved second win of the season.
