No Dwight Gayle, no problem
Dwight Gayle has been a virtual ever-present leading the Magpies’ line so far this term but he was missing from the weekend trip to Preston North End through injury.
But while losing your top goalscorer might prove a huge issue for alternative Championship outfits, that is not the case for Newcastle United with Aleksandar Mitrovic coming in to great effect at Deepdale.
Registering a brace in a rare start so far this term, the Serbian international proved that he can be depended on for goals whenever Gayle might be out injured as the season goes on.
Considering Ayoze Perez also has six goals to his name in all competitions so far this season, Newcastle United certainly have enough firepower in their ranks this term.
