Eddie Howe\u2019s side crushed Union SG 4-0 in Belgium and beat Benfica 3-0, moving into the last-16 spots on goal difference. The Magpies boast an impressive home record, unbeaten in 29 of their last 33 European matches at St James\u2019 Park, and have won their last four there this season, scoring nine and conceding just once. However, their away form remains a concern after a poor 2-0 loss to West Ham on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Athletic Bilbao\u2019s struggles continued with a 3-2 derby defeat to Real Sociedad, where they twice came from behind before conceding a stoppage-time winner. The loss extended a poor run for Ernesto Valverde\u2019s side, who started the season with three straight wins but have since managed just two victories in their last 11 games across all competitions. One of those came in the Champions League, a 3-1 win over Qarabag that lifted them to 21st after earlier defeats to Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-newcastle-team-news\">Newcastle team news<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Newcastle are sweating on Kieran Trippier\u2019s fitness after illness kept him out of the West Ham defeat. Yoane Wissa, Tino Livramento, and Harrison Ashby remain sidelined, while Lewis Hall returned to the squad but didn\u2019t feature. Anthony Gordon is also a doubt with a hip problem, meaning Harvey Barnes could start on the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-athletic-bilbao-team-news\">Athletic Bilbao team news<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Athletic Bilbao, meanwhile, are without Inaki Williams, who suffered a serious adductor injury against Qarabag and is out until 2026. Yeray Alvarez is suspended until February, and Maroan Sannadi, Benat Prados, Unai Egiluz, and Inigo Lekue are all injured. Nico Williams is fit and should replace Alex Berenguer in attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Season Form &amp; Standings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>2025\/26 season to date.<br>Newcastle have made an impressive start, sitting 8th with two wins and a +6 goal difference. Athletic Club are currently 21st, struggling to keep pace after conceding seven in three games.
