The 2025-26 Champions League heads for the halfway point of the league phase with Matchday Four promising another two nights of dramatic action from Europe's premier competition. 

Newcastle are one of six English teams in this season's Champions League, and they are back on Tyneside as they welcome Athletic Club to the North-East. 

The Magpies suffered a disappointing defeat to Barcelona in their opening Champions League game, but have since been almost unstoppable in the competition. Scoring seven times in their next two games as they made light work of Union SG and Jose Mourinho's Benfica. 

They host the Spanish side, who finally got their first European win under their belt this season by beating Qarabag last time out, but have already suffered defeat to both Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund. 

A rocking St James' Park, however, presents a totally different task for Ernesto Valverde's team. 

DAZN News has all the information ahead of Newcastle vs Athletic Club.

Newcastle vs Athletic Club  - the key men 

Anthony Gordon - Newcastle 

An old-school winger who loves to get at defenders, mixed with a modern-day number 10, Gordon is exactly the kind of player the Toon Army loves. 

Gordon gets the fans off their feet whenever he's got the ball and has a great knack for scoring big goals in big games. 

Nico Williams - Athletic Club 

The Spanish side have their own wing wizard in Williams, who's slowly getting back to his best after injury delayed his start to the season. 

When he's in full flow, there's not many better wingers in La Liga. He is fondly remembered for his performances for Spain at Euro 2024.
