Steve Bruce provides Newcastle injury update ahead of Watford

Newcastle vs Watford

Newcastle are taking on Watford this weekend with both sides looking to move out of the relegation zone.

The Magpies picked up a somewhat surprising 1-0 victory over Tottenham last weekend.

But despite those three points, Steve Bruce’s side are 19^th having lost their opening two league ties vs Arsenal and Norwich.

Newcastle’s opponents on Saturday are also in the relegation zone.

In fact, Watford are bottom of the league and are the only side to have not picked up a single point in the PL this campaign.
