PSG vs Newcastle United live score, updates, lineups, and result from vital Champions League fixture

Eddie Howe's Newcastle United arrive in the French capital this evening knowing that defeat to PSG will end their participation in the 2023/24 Champions League and see them eliminated from contention in Group F. 

A draw may also not be enough if the result between AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund in the other group match doesn't go the Magpies' way, as Howe described this away match as a "defining moment" in their campaign.

Newcastle beat Chelsea 4-1 in Premier League action at the weekend, which will serve as a huge confidence boost, although they remain without a number of first-team players due to injury and suspension. That could seriously hamper their chances of success at the Parc des Princes with PSG in solid form of late, winning seven of their eight matches since their 4-1 loss at St James' Park in early October. 

Each one of those victories has seen the current Ligue 1 leaders score three or more goals in the process, while they've also scored in each of their past 48 Champions League group stages games – and have only lost one of their last 35 European group stage games at this venue.

That leaves the Parisians primed for another positive result here then, as a win against Newcastle matched with victory for Dortmund in Milan would also see Luis Enrique's side qualify for the knockout rounds for a 12th succession campaign.
