For the first time in a long time, I don't care even slightly about a Newcastle fixture. Usually we can say "at least if we lose, so and so will lose his job" but that's already happened. We can climb one league position and drop one league position. Pearson was in charge of the under 21's yes? That was entertaining, so I'll say 2-2 here.
I reckon Pearson will go:
Harper, Solano, Ramage, Carr, Bramble, Milner, Parker, Dyer, Butt, Owen, Shola
Subs: Martins, Zog, Pav, Gooch (if fit), Carroll
