Blackburn vs Newcastle LIVE score and goal updates from the Championship clash at Ewood Park
Newcastle United take on Blackburn Rovers in the first game of 2017 and the Magpies will be looking to start the new year with a bit of revenge against one of the few sides to beat them this season.
Rovers came to Tyneside in November and left with all three points, spoiling the party for United and Rafa Benitez , where the chance to win a ten consecutive game was on the cards.
Dwight Gayle will be looking to continue his great form and knows that one more goal will see he become the first Toon player to net 20 goals in a season since Alan Shearer in 2003-04.
