Then Dortmund will be smarting however, from a humiliating 4-0 home defeat to bitter rivals and perennial German champions Bayern Munich at the weekend.
They were unable to stop Harry Kane running amok as he helped himself to a hat-trick and they now sit seven points adrift of surprise Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
BVB also had a goalless draw with AC Milan, but suffered a 2-0 loss to PSG in Paris.
So therefore they are currently ahead of Newcastle on the head to head record, so a draw wouldn’t be a disaster for the hosts.
