Toon In Training: Revving Up For Rovers
United prepare to face Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday night after three wins on the bounce, and could even find themselves in the top four with a win.
But nobody's getting complacent at Newcastle's Training Centre, and the players were working hard again in the build-up to the clash with Sam Allardyce's side.
Ian Horrocks was working hard too, bringing us these pictures.
