The French champions visit St James' Park for a tantalising Champions League Group F tie on Wednesday evening, as Newcastle United play host to Paris Saint-Germain.
Eddie Howe's men marked their return to the big time with a hard-fought goalless stalemate away to AC Milan on matchday one, while Les Parisiens saw off Borussia Dortmund 2-0. Both Newcastle and PSG have displayed admirable defensive resilience over the past few weeks, but the Magpies in particular should fear no foe after seeing off Man City - albeit a weakened Man City - in front of their own fans just a week ago.
The boisterous St James' Park atmosphere will also play its part in intimidating the French champions, but despite the visitors' stretch of inconsistent form, keeping Mbappe and co quiet might be a step too far for an injury-ravaged Magpies team.

法甲冠军将在周三晚上做客圣詹姆斯公园球场进行一场精彩的欧冠F组比赛,纽卡斯尔联将主场迎战巴黎圣日耳曼。
艾迪·豪的球队在第一个比赛日客场0比0战平AC米兰,标志着他们重返辉煌时代,而巴黎人则以2比0击败多特蒙德。纽卡斯尔和巴黎圣日耳曼在过去的几周里都表现出了令人钦佩的防守弹性,但喜鹊在一周前在自己的球迷面前击败了曼城之后,尤其不应该害怕任何敌人——尽管曼城已经被削弱了。
喧闹的圣詹姆斯公园球场的气氛也将对法甲冠军起到一定的威慑作用,但是尽管客队的状态不稳定,让姆巴佩和co安静下来对于受伤的喜鹊来说可能有点太过分了。
