Football: Weekend guide to the Premiership - Newcastle v Arsenal Last season: 0-1

Saturday 27 February 1999

NEWCASTLE WILL give fitness tests to the flu-stricken Alan Shearer and Didier Domi ahead of tomorrow's game with the champions Arsenal at St James' Park. Domi is expected to recover but Shearer remains a doubt and if the England captain fails a late fitness test Louis Saha, who scored the only goal in the FA Cup replay against Blackburn on Wednesday, will deputise once again.

Saturday 09 January 1999

THE FRENCH defender Didier Domi looks likely to get his Premiership debut as Newcastle United manager Ruud Gullit welcomes his former club Chelsea to St James' Park this afternoon. A late decision will be taken on the inclusion of Domi's compatriot Louis Saha, who joined the club on loan until the end of the season as cover for injured striker Duncan Ferguson. Gullit also has captain Rob Lee and defender Steve Howey back from injury. Newcastle have lost only once at home in the past 19 visits of today's opponents, 3-1 in November 1985.
