Richarlison will be looking to revive his impressive Premier League return against Newcastle United in this evening's late kick-off at St James' Park (8.15pm UK).
The Brazil international has been involved in six goals in 10 league appearances against Newcastle (four goals, two assists), only managing more against Liverpool in the competition (four goals, three assists).
In his last top-flight outing against the Magpies, our number nine scored twice in a 4-1 home win in December 2023 and heads into tonight's contest as our current top scorer with five goals.
The Brazilian was back amongst the goals in November with his first Champions League goal of the campaign at Paris Saint-Germain following up his strikes against Manchester United and Arsenal in the league and has 16 goals in his last 23 Premier League starts.
We head into Tuesday's clash on Tyneside almost inseparable in the league standings with us locked on 18 points and sitting one place above 13th-place Newcastle on goal difference.
Despite a poor recent record at St James' Park, winless in three trips there since a 3-2 success in October 2021, we have still impressed away from home this season, claiming 13 of 18 top-flight points available. We are also unbeaten in all four away games outside of London this season (W3 D1), last enjoying a longer such run between March and October 2022 (six matches).
