""I've said many times this season, trusting the squad is very important, we have some very good players who are desperate to play," Howe told his pre-match press conference. "We have the depth to play all these games, every game is different, the challenge is different, certain games suit certain players. We want to win the game.""
""We have travelled early; we will train at the stadium. Tomorrow our preparation will be slightly different. The most important decision is how we play. The midfield battle will be key for us; we need to do well technically with the ball. This will be a really tough game for us, but we feel we can rise to the challenge.""
Newcastle travel to Marseille on the back of a Premier League win over Manchester City and aim to secure three points in a tough Champions League away fixture. The club has nine points from four group matches, with a narrow home defeat to Barcelona the only loss, placing them well for progression. Marseille are strong domestically but have managed only one Champions League win so far. Squad depth, technical midfield control, early travel with stadium training, and tailored preparation are identified as key factors. A victory would bolster Newcastle's chances of reaching the knockout rounds and improve their domestic standing.
