Toon in training: United looking to extend Watford gap
Newcastle go into Saturday's game at Watford sitting three places and three points ahead of the Hornets.
And Rafa Benítez's side will be out to extend that gap at Vicarage Road as they look to maintain their current top ten position.
But Watford were impressive when they won 3-0 at St. James' Park in November, so United will need to be at their best. Serena Taylor brought nufc.co.uk this gallery as the players trained on Thursday.
