"They have started the season very strongly; they had a good result against PSV, Howe told a pre-match press conference on Tuesday."
"Tactically, they are interesting, and they will give us a physical threat with two big strikers. We know it will be an important game on our Champions League journey, but a tough one."
"We'll have to be at one hundred percent and give everything. We'll have to be there from the very first second. It's the only way to go into a match like this with any ambition."
Newcastle seek a first Champions League group-stage victory when they play Union St. Gilloise at Anderlecht's Constant Vanden Stock Stadium because Union's Joseph Marien Stadium fails UEFA requirements. Newcastle lost 2-1 to Barcelona in their opening group game, with Marcus Rashford scoring twice, and suffered a late Premier League defeat to Arsenal leaving them with six points from six games. Union top the Belgian Pro League with five wins and two draws from seven matches and beat PSV Eindhoven 3-1 in their Champions League opener. Union present a physical threat with two big strikers and a tactically interesting approach. The match represents a tough but important challenge for Newcastle at a time when performance is needed.
