Newcastle 5/1 to be out of Toon at St James'

Newcastle are not in a good way ahead of Monday's home clash with Wigan. They have not won for five games, they are two points above the relegation zone, and half their squad is missing.

Hatem Ben Arfa, Yohan Cabaye, Gabriel Obertan and several more are all missing at St James' Park, so you would anticipate problems at both ends of the pitch. Wigan are hardly in great form themselves, losing three of their last four, so we fancy a 1-1 draw at 5/1 with bet365.

Fancy bigger money? How about the heavily praised Arouna Kone to score the game's only goal at 35/1 with bet365.
