19:45 Preston North End v Newcastle Utd, Championship, Sky Sports 1 / HD1
These two sides haven't played each other in the league since 1981. That season, Preston went down
to the old Third Division and if they maintain their current form (one win in their last seven
games), they might just replicate that.

19.45 Sheffield Utd v Newcastle Utd, Championship, Sky Sports 1/HD1
The Blades are in an awful slump that could see them in big trouble if they don't snap out of it
quick. A last minute winner from Kevin Nolan ended Newcastle's own winless run last time out but
they can go back top with a win here.

X-Factor goal celebration after scoring against Plymouth on Saturday was in response to suggestions
that he has had his teeth whitened like Simon Cowell. Newcastle's coaching staff have been
spreading rumours that Taylor had opted for similar dental treatment to the X-Factor judge.

The more observant amongst you will notice that this week's Midweek TV Preview is unnaturally
short. We would like to point out that this is not because we forgot to write most of it - merely
that next weekend's World Cup qualifiers have resulted in most domestic football being put on the
back burner for a week.

Just your average seven-goal thriller at St James' Park last night (highlights here). At one stage,
Newcastle were 3-1 down, but goals in the second half by Geremi, Shola Ameobi and Kevin Nolan were
enough to see the home side...

According to The Mirror (ahem), local lad, unfinished article and all-round top bloke Stevie Taylor
has more than one suitor. It would seem the England U21 centre half is being pursued by Everton but
they will be challenged to his signature by Fulham, Aston Villa and their Merseyside neighbours
Liverpool.

Reports in the media tell us that Roy Hodgson has confirmed Fulham are very close to clinching a
move for Damien Duff. Apparently the London club are prepared to offer the mooted £4m for the
Irish winger. Of course, Roy Hodgson knows Duff well from when he became a regular at Blackburn in
the late [.

The Premier League begins right here (as Sky are probably only too keen to remind you). Hull earned
a creditable goalless draw here last season but few will predict anything similar this time around.

According to reports on Sky Sports News we've received an estimated £4m bid from an unidentified

There is a growing possibility that Newcastle Utd will not be sold this summer, according to the
Guardian. This will leave owner Mike Ashley in charge of the Championship club at least until
January and possibly next summer.
Several consortiums remain interested in purchasing Newcastle for a figure close to the £100m
asking price, but the club's financial liabilities are severely slowing the purchasing process.
