    NEWCASTLE have one last chance to secure a Champions League last-16 spot against AC Milan – but other results have to go their way too.The Magpies were robbed of a chance to climb into second place in Group F when Kylian Mbappe netted a controversial stoppage-time equalising penalty last time out.

    And as a result, Eddie Howe’s men slumped to joint-bottom with Milan who lost to already-qualified Borussia Dortmund.
    However, three points would be enough for the Toon to go through should PSG fail to beat Dortmund in the other Group F fixture.
    But the same applies to their Italian opponents and the Magpies will feel wounded going into this match off the back of back-to-back Premier League drubbings.
    When is Newcastle vs AC Milan?

    Newcastle’s crucial Champions League clash against AC Milan will take place on Wednesday, December 13.
    It is scheduled to get underway at 8pm GMT.
    St James’ Park is the allocated arena for this huge match and it can host approximately 52,000 passionate fans.

    Martial started the 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday, while Rashford came on as a 79th-minute substitute.
    But due to illness, the two forwards missed the training session at Carrington on Monday, as football writer Simon Peach reported.
    The Red Devils must be fit and in full force when they face Bayern Munich as a win is a must if they are to stand any chance of advancing to the knockout stages.
    Erik ten Hag is hopeful his side will redeem themselves from their 4-3 defeat to Bayern earlier in the campaign.

    He said: “There were stages in the game where we played very good.
    “It was end-to-end for a long time in that game but also we suffered some mistakes that were absolutely avoidable.
    “One thing for sure against Bayern Munich you have to play your best because they have a very good team and very good individual players.
    “But as I say, Chelsea also amazing players, we dominate them and I think we can do it against Bayern as well.”

    Man United won in the week against Chelsea, thanks to two goals from Scott McTominay.
    Rashford started the game on the bench after being dropped by Erik ten Hag.
    The 26-year-old then missed Man United’s training session on Friday through illness.
    But overall this term Rashford has struggled for form this season despite being the club’s top scorer last campaign.
    The forward has only scored two goals in the Premier League in his 14 appearances.
    Meanwhile, Martial has fallen down the ranks at United and is set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season as a free agent if he is not sold in January.
    The Frenchman has been unable to find the back of the net this term as well scoring just once in 13 Premier League appearances. More

    Saka and Martinelli both hand Arteta injury scare after missing Arsenal training but forgotten man returns

    BUKAYO SAKA and Gabriel Martinelli both missed training this morning ahead of Arsenal’s Champions League clash away at PSV.Martinelli was absent from the Gunners’ final session before they fly to the Netherlands later today due to illness and is unlikely to travel.

    Saka was also missing owing to a foot knock, but is expected to make the squad to face the Dutch outfit in Tuesday’s Group B dead rubber.
    A further boost for boss Mikel Arteta is that Emile Smith Rowe was spotted training with the main group at London Colney, and could also be in line to face PSV.
    Smith Rowe has been out since October with a knee issue in what has been an injury-ravaged period for the midfielder – but there is hope that is fully behind him for now.
    He has made just four Premier League appearances this campaign, the only start coming in October at home to Sheffield United – as well as playing 19 minutes of football in Europe.
    READ MORE ON ARSENAL
    Arteta could do with Smith Rowe getting up to speed sooner rather than later ahead of a hectic couple of weeks in this busy festive period.
    After a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday night, Arteta must navigate a tricky clash with Brighton at home on Sunday before a trip to league leaders Liverpool next weekend.
    The Gunners could potentially field a second string starting XI against PSV having already guaranteed top spot – giving several key players some much-needed rest time.
    Fringe players Reiss Nelson, Mohamed Elneny, Jakub Kiwior, Leandro Trossard, Eddie Nketiah, Jorginho and Aaron Ramsdale may all be thrown in.

    Man Utd ‘make first move to sign Bundesliga striker who’s scored 16 goals in just 11 games and will cost just £17m’

    MANCHESTER UNITED have “inquired” about one of Europe’s deadliest strikers ahead of the January transfer window.United manager Erik ten Hag needs to add some firepower up front amid a painful campaign in the Premier League as well as the Champions League.

    Marcus Rashford has failed to replicate last season’s stunning numbers, £72million signing Rasmus Hojlund is goalless in the Prem, Antony is poor and Jadon Sancho is axed from the first team.
    That is why the Red Devils have turned their attention to Stuttgart star Serhou Guirassy.
    Guirassy has taken the Bundesliga by storm with a staggering total of 16 goals in 11 league appearances.
    According to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, the Manchester giants have already put the wheels in motion as they weigh up a move for the centre-forward.
    Read More on Man Utd
    The 27-year-old is one of Ten Hag’s top January targets as he also poses as a bargain move that may cost less than €20m (£17m).
    However, negotiations are still at an “early stage” between United, Stuttgart and the Guinea international’s camp.
    Nevertheless, Guirassy is open for “concrete talks” with Ten Hag’s side next month.
    But the forward prefers to stay at the MHPArena until the end of the season.

    CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFER
    Guirassy has a contract until 2026, therefore Stuttgart are not in a hurry to sell him.
    Plus, the Guinean star’s goals have skyrocketed Sebastian Hoeness’ side to third place in the Bundesliga table.
    Therefore, the German outfit won’t be keen to offload their best player as they aim to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
    Plus, Guirassy should be called up by Guinea manager Kaba Diawara for next month’s Africa Cup of Nations, which means United would be deprived of his services for up to a month if they signed him. More
