Magpies bank on young guns

Newcastle are set to field a largely youthful side for tonight’s top of the table clash against Bordeaux in the Europa League.

Youngsters Conor Newton and Yven Moyo were among a 20-man Newcastle squad which belatedly left Tyneside yesterday after heavy snow delayed them an hour.

Midfielders Newton, 21, and 20-year-old Moyo are yet to make a senior appearance for the club, and have been included along with the slightly more experienced Gael Bigirimana, Mehdi Abeid and Adam Campbell as manager Alan Pardew uses the depth of his squad.
