Jack Colback vs Jermain Lens

Former Sunderland midfielder Jack Colback will need to keep his head on his return to the Stadium of Light – but he will also need to stop Jermaine Lens playing at his best.

The summer import from Dynamo Kyiv has been a bright spark in a poor season for the Black Cats, and showed everyone what he can do with with a delightful chip against West Ham United.

For Colback, shackling Lens will be an important duty for him, if he is to help Newcastle keep a clean sheet and win for the first time in five games.
