Newcastle players applaud the fans following the English Premier League football match between Newcastle United and Brentford at St James' Park in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, north east England on September 16, 2023. Newcastle won the match 1-0. AFPPIX: Fuelled by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, Newcastle return to the Champions League for the first time in 20 years at AC Milan on Tuesday hoping this is just the start of their rise on the European stage.
But the early weeks of the new season have brought a reality check as Eddie Howe's men suffered consecutive defeats to City, Liverpool and Brighton before bouncing back with an unconvincing 1-0 victory over Brentford on Saturday. The Italian is expected to return to Howe's starting line-up for his homecoming after sitting out the win over Brentford on the bench with a minor injury suffered on international duty.
Howe is not daunted by the level of opposition in his first Champions League campaign as he believes his side are used to competing at a higher level due to the demands of the Premier League.
