    It's starting to look like a cricket score! Hard for Qarabag to motivate themselves for this one.

    Shoutout to all the travelling Qarabag supporters. Belted at home and bleak start here. Hope their team don’t roll over tonight.

    “Is this the way to Barcelona?" the home support repeatedly sing. "Bayern Munich? Lazio? Roma?

    "Geordie boys are taking over – Champions League awaits for me."

    Newcastle United could meet Barcelona in the last 16, of course, or Chelsea.

    Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe is not showing Qarabag any mercy.

    Even at 2-0, he's roared "come on!" at his players to win the ball back quicker.

    Newcastle United have picked up where they left off against Qarabag.

    Remarkably, Eddie Howe's side have raced into a 2-0 lead even quicker than they did in Baku when they were two goals up after just eight minutes last week.

    Qarabag manager Gurban Gurbanov shakes his head on the touchline.

    On the first goal...

    Great start from Newcastle. Qarabag just camped around the box and Osula should've scored with the first header.

    It's a good save but Sandro Tonali is there.

    Just the start Eddie Howe would've wanted.

    On the second goal...

    I think this could be a long night for Qarabag. It's a lovely ball from Harvey Barnes.

    The finish is devastating. Right foot volley, crashes it into the roof of the net by Joelinton.

    There's a lot of Qarabag defenders who are back and not doing an awful lot.

    Awful start from Qarabag.

    No it's the turn of Olympiacos to attack.

    A corner is played along the ground to Chiquinho at the edge of the penalty area, but he sweeps his first time shot over the bar.

    Patrik Schick goes close again, and really ought to do better!

    The Bayer Leverkusen striker chases a ball over the top and wins the foot race with the defenders. He spots Olympiacos goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis off his line and goes for the lob, but the effort doesn't have enough on it and the keep scurries back to collect.

    Joelinton

    It's going to be a painful game for Qarabag. Newcastle get their second goal inside six minutes and this is a fine finish from Joelinton, meeting a cross from Harvey Barnes and doing well to control the volley and fire it into the roof of the net.

    Bayer Leverkusen 0-0 Olympiacos (2-0 agg)

    Bayer Leverkusen striker Patrik Schick sored a double in the first leg last week, and he goes close to scoring his third of this tie.

    Qarabag's resistance only lasts a few minutes. Sandro Tonali starts and finishes the move. Dan Burn crosses from the left, William Osula has an effort blocked and it drops for Tonali, who sweeps home the first...

    I think the Newcastle fans are really appreciative of their manager after their recent form.

    They're in a brilliant position and they're going to go through, although in his programme notes Eddie Howe says 'there's no room for complacency'.

    The job he has done since he joined has been absolutely brilliant.

    Fair play to those Qarabag supporters who have made the journey.

    A number of those fans up in the gods have travelled 2,500 miles from Baku to see their side play at St James' Park tonight.

    It's been an incredible campaign for the visitors, who drew against Chelsea and defeated Benfica, Eintracht Frankfurt and Copenhagen in the league phase.

    The knockout stages of the Champions League are typically laced with jeopardy.

    But Qarabag are going to have to produce something truly astonishing at St James’ Park tonight to overturn a 6-1 first-leg defeat against Newcastle United.

    Such a healthy cushion gives Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe a rare chance to give some key figures a breather.

    However, he will also want to treat Qarabag and the competition with respect as his side look to build on a decent run of results.

    It is easy to forget this team were booed off following their last fixture at St James’ Park – a 3-2 loss against Brentford – but Newcastle have rallied since then.

    They have defeated Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Qarabag on the road, and put in a committed showing in the weekend loss against Manchester City.

    The hosts don't want to lose grasp of precious momentum.

    "It's a cliche but we know that the tie isn't over," defender Dan Burn writes in his programme notes.

    "We know that Qarabag can cause us problems and we have to be professional tonight."
