Coming two days after the Everton game will be a test for the players, especially for Georginio Wijnaldum, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Chancel Mbemba, who have never experienced the winter rush of the Premier League.

While the run may be tough on the legs, it can generate good momentum going into the new year – if the Magpies can chalk up a few wins.

They have come under fire for only putting in good performances against the better sides, and the game against the Baggies will be an interesting litmus test for that theory. Moussa Sissoko will want to show everyone why he should be playing in the Champions League, and if he times a run of good form right, he may be in line for that move to a ‘bigger’ club.
