Overview
- Newcastle return to St James' Park on Saturday, Sept. 19, seeking a response after a 4-1 loss at Leeds that exposed poor duel control and defensive lapses.
- Hull arrive unbeaten after four Premier League games and sit in the top five thanks to a compact, low-possession setup that presses hard and hits quickly on the break.
- Newcastle's defence is under clear strain, having conceded 39 goals in 23 Premier League matches this year and kept just two clean sheets in their last 20 games.
- Both managers face selection headaches with multiple injuries reported for each side and Jaissle expected to keep a 4-2-3-1 while Hull are likely to set up in a pragmatic deep block.
- The match kicks off at 3:00pm BST and is not shown live on UK TV because of the 3pm blackout, with international streams available on platforms such as Peacock, Stan Sport and Fubo.
