Is Borussia Dortmund v Newcastle on TV? Channel, time and how to watch Champions League fixture
Newcastle travel to Borussia Dortmund in a bid to push for a place in the top two of their Champions League group to qualify for the knockout stages.
The Magpies go into the game in third place in Group F, but level on points with Dortmund, who beat them 1-0 at St James’ Park in the previous match. Paris Saint-Germain sit top of the table with six points, two more than Eddie Howe’s side.
For Newcastle, the Champions League has been the ultimate baptism of fire, having been drawn in arguably the toughest group of them all, but they have held their own: a draw away in Milan followed by a stunning 4-1 win over PSG at home.
However, the Magpies were dealt a blow following the first game against the German club, when Sandro Tonali was banned for 10 months, and will not be available for selection.
