The sun is shining and Newcastle have won their last four games, so it's no wonder there were plenty of smiles as the players trained this week ahead of Monday night's trip to Everton.
On Friday, the players did some gym work before heading out to the training pitches. And, among other drills, there was a round robin tournament, with Martin Dubravka , DeAndre Yedlin , Mikel Merino , Ciaran Clark , Matt Ritchie and Islam Slimani emerging victorious.
Club photographer Serena Taylor went behind the scenes to bring nufc.co.uk this gallery.
