Newcastle vs Watford<\/h2>\n

Newcastle are set to play out a huge Premier League clash this weekend.<\/p>\n

The Magpies will play host to Watford a 3 pm UK time in a game that could prove to be a massive one in their hopes of survival.<\/p>\n

Newcastle are currently 19th<\/sup> in the English top-flight, having won just one game from 19 attempts. However, despite their dismal record, they are just two points behind 17th<\/sup>-place Watford.<\/p>\n

The North East outfit also have a game in hand on the Hornets. So, a win on Saturday and then a win in their game in hand would be excellent for Eddie Howe\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

Eddie Howe\u2019s concerning Newcastle transfer update<\/h2>\n

Ahead of the Watford game, Eddie Howe has spoken out about transfers.<\/p>\n

Newcastle have signed Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood so far this month.<\/p>\n

And whilst both are solid signings, Newcastle are yet to address their centre-back department, which is a key problem area for them \u2013 as shown by the fact they have conceded 42 goals in 19 league games this term.<\/p>\n

The Northern Echo<\/a> report that Newcastle\u2019s recruitment team have made bids for Lille\u2019s Sven Botman and Sevilla\u2019s Diego Carlos, but have been unable to reach an agreement over either.<\/p>\n

And now, when speaking<\/a> on Friday, Howe stated that Newcastle are not currently close to anyone:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re not close to anyone else currently. The squad of players we have will be the squad of players we have for Watford.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking. We\u2019ve got time left in the window, and we know we need to move quickly if we need to try to add more players.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, we\u2019re still active in the market, but there\u2019s no immediate news to give you on that front.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

This, of course, means the Magpies will be facing Watford without some much-needed centre-back reinforcements. And should Newcastle not bring in a centre-back during the winter window, you would assume that it would massively impact their chances of staying up.<\/p>\n
