Cheick Tiote sadly passed away yesterday, after collapsing during a training session in China.

Kevin Phillips joined The Debate podcast and discussed Newcastle’s victory over West Brom that punched their ticket for the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. It was a rather dramatic night in the end but Steve Bruce and his squad secured a nail-biting 3-2 victory against the Championship leaders and are now into the quarter-finals of the tournament. But according to Phillips, there was one man who stood out for him and that was Miguel Almiron as the 26-year-old attacking midfielder dropped a brilliant display. Here’s what Phillips said on The Debate podcast (4/3/2020): “He’s become more clever in the last year. He’s getting his head up a lot more, he’s showing a lot more composure, of course, the work rate is still there and you can see how much he’s adored by the Newcastle supporters. Tonight he showed a bit of everything – he showed intelligence, his decision making at the right time was spot on, his finishing was outstanding. He looks a top-quality player.” Since these words are basically coming from a West Brom perspective, seeing how Phillips is a former player of the club himself, the praise is just that much more meaningful. Of course, it’s also quite warranted as Almiron netted a brace on the night, definitely doing his part of the job on the pitch and making sure his team advanced into the quarter-finals. This in itself is a great achievement for the Magpies but it remains to be seen if they can do even more. Newcastle fans, what did you think of Almiron’s performance vs West Brom? Do you agree with Phillips’ words? Let us know down in the comments below!

M A T C H O F T H E D A Y F A C T S HEAD-TO-HEAD BETWEEN THE MAPPIES v GUNNERS #ArsenalFc have won 12 of their last 13 matches against #newcastleutd with their solitary defeat coming at St James' Park in April 2018. #Newcastle have only beaten Arsenal three times in 36 meetings in all competitions over the past 17 years. #TheMagpies have only kept two clean sheets in this fixture since 2007. NEWCASTLE UNITED Newcastle won six of their final eight homes games in the #Premier #League last season. However, they have not won their opening league match since a 2-1 victory over #Tottenham in 2012, losing five and drawing one since then. Just one of Newcastle's last 25 #PremierLeague home matches has been drawn - a goalless stalemate with Fulham in #December 2018. Newcastle manager #Steve #Bruce has lost a career-worst 19 games against Arsenal. His teams have beaten the Gunners just twice in 27 meetings, with #Birmingham in 2005 and #Sunderland in 2009. Bruce was relegated from the Premier League as manager of both #BirminghamCity (2005-06) and #Hull #City (2014-15). The #Magpies spent 69 days in the relegation zone in 2018-19, the most of any side not to go down. ARSENAL FC Arsenal won only seven of their 19 Premier League away games in 2018-19 and kept one clean sheet - fewer than any other side. This will be the first time in eight seasons that Arsenal have not opened a league campaign at home. They drew 0-0 at Newcastle in 2011. #TheGunners have lost four of the last six season-opening Premier League matches. Arsenal conceded 51 Premier League goals in both 2017-18 and 2018-19, having never conceded more than 49 goals in any of the first 25 campaigns. ⚽️ #Football_Fiesta_Focus (at The Terrace at St. James Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1BdYoRHtzj/?igshid=1jzxfztzo9giq
