Leao back for Milan

Milan also make just the one change to their team, as they, too, welcome back a key forward from injury. Rafael Leao returns to the Rossoneri side, having last played for Stefano Pioli's side in early November.

Fikayo Tomori is the visitors’ only fit recognised centre-back, so full-back Theo Hernández will again deputise at the heart of the defence.

What the coaches said: Newcastle boss Howe

Potential for "special night"

“We’re very positive going into the Game. It’s got all the hallmarks of being a very special night. All we can, quite predictably, is try and win the Game, and try and give our best performance. We’ll give everything to try and do that.”

Eddie Howe, Newcastle head coach

Desperate to stay in UCL:

"Milan are very dangerous but we’re as hungry as you can be. We’re fiercely determined. Every fibre, every part of our being wants to stay in this comPetition.”

Eddie Howe, Newcastle head coach

Clarion call to home crowd:

“They have been [the 12th man] for us this season, for sure. We’re going to need every voice, every person can make a difference. The supporters have never let us down at home; they’ve been incredible.”

Eddie Howe, Newcastle head coach

Magpies dealing with long injury list

Pope is far from Newcastle's only injury absentee, of course. The hosts are also without: Jacob Murphy, Dan Burn, Elliot Anderson, Harvey Barnes, Sven Botman, Joe Willock, Matt Targett and Javier Manquillo.

And Sandro Tonali, Newcastle's summer signing from AC Milan, is currently suspended for breaching Italian betting rules.

Wilson returns to Newcastle XI, Dúbravka starts

Eddie Howe makes just one change to the Newcastle team that lost 4-1 to Spurs this weekend, with Callum Wilson coming back into the hosts’ XI.

Wilson returned from injury as a substitute at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

There had been question marks over whether Martin Dúbravka would play, as the Slovakian has been struggling with illness. Third-choice keeper Loris Karius had been primed to step in, but Dúbravka is able to start in the end.

A reminder that Newcastle are without their No. 1 stopper, Nick Pope, who faces a sizeable layoff with a shoulder injury.

What do AC Milan need to qualify?

Milan, meanwhile, will only go through to the knockout stages if they beat Newcastle and PSG lose to Dortmund.

If the Rossoneri win and Paris get a point in Germany, the Frenchmen will finish higher as they have the better head-to-head record. In that scenario, Milan will go into the Europa League.

What do Newcastle need to qualify?

If they're to take their place in Monday's draw for the Champions League last 16, Eddie Howe's men must beat Milan and hope that PSG do not win against Dortmund.

Newcastle will finish third, and drop into the Europa League, if they and PSG both win, or if they draw with Milan.

How things stand in Group F

Borussia Dortmund are already through, and will seal top spot in Group G if they avoid defeat against Paris Saint-Germain today.

As for PSG, their controversial late leveller against Newcastle two weeks ago means they have their fate in their hands: if they beat Dortmund, it won't matter what happens at St James Park.

Newcastle and Milan both trail the second-placed Parisians by two points, with the Magpies above the Italians on goal difference.

Over 3,000 migrants have hit NYC shelter time limit, report says

About 3,000 asylum-seekers have been told their time was up in New York City shelters, but about half have reapplied to stay NEW YORK -- About 3,000 asylum-seekers have been told their time was up in New York City shelters, but about half have reapplied to stay, according to a newspaper report. The United States' most populous city has struggled to contend with the arrival of over 120,000 asylum-seekers in the past year. About 60,000 are currently in shelter s run by the city, which is legally required to provide emergency housing to homeless people. The obligation is unmatched in any other major U.S. city. Mayor Eric Adams announced in July that New York would start giving adult migrants 60 days' notice to move out of city shelter s. The policy has since been extended to families with children, and tightened to 30 days for adults not accompanied by youngsters. Migrants, many of whom don't have legal authorization to work, can reapply for shelter if they can't find...

VIDEO: Crashed UFO Or Military Machine? UFO Crash Near Laredo, Texas 1948

Image
Texas Monthly magazine recently included the Laredo UFO Crash on a list of the eight most significant UFO cases in Texas History .Interestingly, this case is said to have occurred almost exactly one year after the more famous Roswell UFO Incident. Rumors about this case first began circulating in the 1950s, although details were not widely known until 1977. This case shares similarities with the Del Rio, Texas UFO Crash of 1955 and the Coyame UFO Incident of 1974, both of which reportedly also occurred along the Texas-Mexico border. According to Texas Monthly, talk of a UFO crash near Laredo first surfaced in the 1950s[2] , with additional details being released in 1978 by the late Leonard Stringfield, one of the first UFO researchers to advocate serious investigation of reported UFO crashes. Stringfield wrote, “In the Fall of 1977, new word of a 1948 crash came to me from a well-informed Military source. His information, however, was scanty. ...
