Tuesday night’s edition of UNITED – the Magpies’ official matchday programme – features an exclusive, eight-page interview with defender Emil Krafth.

The Swede chats in-depth with the programme ahead of a huge few months for club and country, with the Magpies looking to pull clear of the Premier League’s danger-zone and the Blågult aiming to bag a place at next year’s World Cup in Qatar.

Ex-midfielder Tommy Craig is the latest former Magpie to take part in Q&A Revisited, in which we bring back to light some of the quick-fire interviews undertaken by United players over the years and then see how many of their answers remain the same in the present day.

‘Keeper Martin Dúbravka – who returned between the posts at Arsenal on Saturday, discusses painkillers, cricket and Meghan Markle in The Toon Tombola, while Toonament History – the brand new feature in which we take a look back at Newcastle’s connections to football’s two biggest major tournaments – continues with a look at Euro 2004.

This week’s Guest Column, meanwhile, comes courtesy of darts star Chris Dobey, who’ll be taking part in next month’s PDC World Championship at the Alexandra Palace.

Club Historian Paul Joannou tells us about a recent find dating back to the First World War in The United History Blog and, in his regular 140 Years of Action piece, looks back at the Magpies’ free-scoring but diminutive frontline of the 1920s.

Further nostalgia comes courtesy of Stan Gate in Programme Matters, with Michael Ndiweni providing this week’s Academy Diary. Elsewhere, we find out a little bit more about Newcastle United Women’s Jess Spark.

And, as always, we’ll have all you need to know about our visitors, Norwich, as well as skipper Jamaal Lascelles’ thoughts ahead of the game and Eddie Howe’s latest set of notes.

If you’re not able to make it on Saturday, you can still order your programme online – available on Curtis Sport’s website here.
