MATCH PREVIEW:
Newcastle United begin their quest for the 2021-22 season with a warm up fixture against Harrogate on Sunday, as they build for a solid Premier League season.
The Magpies managed to secure a 12th place finish in the League last season after a flurry of wins towards the end kept them in charge of their own destiny.
Steve Bruce saw the best of Joe Willock, as the loanee ensured Newcastle United stayed up and did not face the deadly relegation axe.
Bruce’s men are unbeaten in 4 away matches, which gives them confidence ahead of this clash.
On the other hand, Harrogate Town began their pre-season and have completed 3 fixtures.
They began with successive losses against Doncaster and Huddersfield and won their last match against Brighouse.
Harrogate did not have the best of EFL League 2 season football as they finished 17th last season.
Weaver’s men need to pick up this time around if they do not hover around the relegation threatened zone.
Hence, we can expect a good contest in this one with both sides wanting to get the right result.
Form Table

Harrogate will look to make changes and give all their players a chance before the new season begins and are expected to fall short.
