The match kicks off at 5.30pm on Saturday, 9th December - the exact day in 1892 that Newcastle East End became Newcastle United - and Rafa Benítez's side are looking to get back to winning ways against the 2015/16 Premier League champions.

The club will announce more details on the plans for the 125th anniversary celebrations in and around the stadium very shortly.

Saturday will be the fifth St. James' Park sell-out in a row and that means Newcastle will start the season with eight consecutive home league crowds of more than 51,000.

Due to such incredible support, half-season tickets will not be made available this winter in order to retain a fair proportion of tickets on a match-by-match basis.

Members get priority on tickets and benefits including an exclusive membership pack, discount on food and drink at NINE Bar and money off stadium tours.
