Hello and welcome to the Newcastle United live blog for Saturday, February 3.
The Magpies added to their squad after the 1-1 draw with Burnley as Islam Slimani and Martin Dubravka signed on deadline day.
Newcastle had already sealed the loan signing of Kenedy from Chelsea, while they sent Jack Colback, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Jamie Sterry, Henri Saivet and Freddie Woodman out on loan.
Manager Rafa Benitez is now preparing his squad for the crucial trip to Crystal Palace, as the Magpies look to move further away from the relegation zone.

Speaking about Mitrovic’s loan move to Fulham, Benitez said:
“Hopefully, he’ll score 20 or 25 goals.
“We’ll be happy with that. He’ll have more value. He will come here and say: ‘I’m a new player, you have to trust me because I’ve scored 25 goals.’ Fine, no problem.”
