Newcastle vs AC Milan - Champions League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction
- Newcastle must beat Milan on Wednesday night to have any chance of qualifying for the round of 16
- Milan can also progress with a victory at St James' Park
- PSG face Borussia Dortmund away from home in Group F's other fixture
A battered and bruised Newcastle United host AC Milan on Wednesday night knowing that even a win might not be enough to see them into the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Back-to-back defeats to Borussia Dortmund crippled the Magpies' European campaign, but they looked to have secured three crucial points in Paris which would've reinvigorated their qualification aspirations. However, a controversial late penalty scored by Kylian Mbappe puts Paris Saint-Germain in pole position to join Dortmund in the knockouts.
Both Milan and Newcastle now need PSG to drop points in Dortmund on Wednesday night while ensuring they prevail themselves. The Magpies could qualify if PSG draw but Milan will have everything crossed for a Dortmund triumph.

Newcastle vs AC Milan score prediction
St James' Park will be rocking yet again, and while Milan will be without several key defenders, Stefano Pioli's side are built to mitigate the Toon hostility. They proved during their Champions League run last season that they're full of character.
The deployment of Theo at centre-back hinders their left-hand dynamic despite the expected return of Leao, but should they find themselves in the game after Newcastle's inevitable early surge, Milan could walk away with something on Wednesday.
The Magpies will need to blow the visitors out of the water early on given the fatigue they've shown in recent outings. St James' Park will undoubtedly give them life, but they may not have enough to advance to the round of 16.
Prediction: Newcastle 1-1 AC Milan
