Today we host Newcastle in a big EPL Match. We are currently in 3rd, but really in 1st if you factor in we have 2 less games than everyone else. Newcastle is currently in 7th place. Their top striker, Jermain Defoe is injured and is definitely out for this game. They have a very good midfield led by Philippe Durand, James Milner, and Kasper Lorentzen. Their backup striker Roberto is good and will likely work well with Ricardo Oliveira. Their defense is average with Rogerio, their left fullback, being their most consistent Defender. They are using my old keeper, Thomas Heaton in goal lately. He is really a suspect keeper at this level of play and I'm shocked to see him starting regularly. He does have 3 clean sheets, so he is doing better than I suspected he would. However, he has given up 10 goals in his other 3 starts!

We are even odd favorites.

It's overcast with temperatures in the 50's.
