Newcastle United vs Qarabag LIVE: Early Champions League team news with changes expected

First player from Azerbaijan in MLS - Columbus Crew sign Nariman Akhundzada

Newcastle will have to bypass Qarabag for a spot in the Champions League final 16‚ after Eddie Howe's side were drawn against the Azerbaijan team ahead of their play-off tie next month. Qarabag may feel a sense of trepidation facing off with Premier League opposition for the second European match in a row‚ after being thumped 6-0 by Liverpool in their final game of the league phase. But unlike their defeat at Anfield‚ the club will take on Eddie Howe's players on home turf - which will mean Newcastle will have to travel 8‚000 miles midweek for their match on either February 17 or 18.

Enzo Maresca's brutally honest admission after seven-player Chelsea decision backfires

KIERAN GILL: An hour before this Champions League clash‚ the transfer boffins told us their supercomputer had calculated how Chelsea's Estevao Willian is worth £103.9million in today's market‚ and second only to Barcelona's Lamine Yamal among all the players in the world yet to turn 20 years old. We will not question that valuation‚ and nor should you. The 18-year-old Brazilian looked worth it while giving Enzo Maresca's side their early lead against Qarabag in the Azerbaijan capital of Baku‚ installing himself as their leading scorer this season with a quick step inside and fierce finish. He is a magical menace‚ the one they would all love but whom Chelsea secured for themselves‚ hailed as the next Neymar when he is not being nicknamed 'Messinho'.
