Only Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane and Erling Haaland have scored more goals in the Champions League this season than Anthony Gordon, who has scored six goals and bagged two assists in seven starts in Europe in the current campaign.

Newcastle will break the record this evening for the furthest distance travelled by an English team for a Champions League away game as they head more than 2,500 miles east to Baku to take on Qarabag for the first leg of the knockout phase play-off tie.

Eddie Howe’s side head to the Azerbaijani capital having won their last two matches, both away from home against Tottenham and Aston Villa, in recovery from having lost four of their previous five matches.

This evening’s clash will be the Magpies’ first time beyond the initial group stage of the Champions League in 23 years, and will be looking to return home with a positive result ahead of next week’s second leg at St James’ Park.

Qarabag will also make history this evening by becoming the first team from Azerbaijan to compete in a Champions League knockout tie, reaching the play-off stage following wins over Benfica, Copenhagen and Eintracht Frankfurt and taking a point off Chelsea.

Qurban Qurbanov’s side have won three of their last four matches in preparation for this evening’s bout, in what will be the biggest game in the club’s history.

Tonight will be the first ever meeting between the two sides.
