HOWE'S GUNNING FOR IT

Wounded Newcastle in the last-chance saloon

- Simon Bird

EDDIE HOWE called on Newcastle to come out "all guns blazing" against AC Milan to conjure a "magical European night".

The Geordies are fighting for their Champions League lives against the Italian giants tonight, needing a win to stay in with the elite.

They also need a favour from Dortmund, who must stop Paris Saint Germain from winning. Newcastle will guarantee a Europa League spot in the new year if they avoid defeat.

But Howe is desperate to continue his Champions League journey and striker Callum Wilson says he is saving his debut Euro goal for this "special occasion". Newcastle are limping into their group of death decider, with No.2 keeper Martin Dubravka the latest doubt having conceded seven in the last two games. The Geordies have a whole team unavailable for selection.
