The Mags narrowly missed out on a top-eight finish and qualification for the last 16, but will still be feeling confident as they head into the knockout stages.

Eddie Howe's side have looked their best football in Europe this season and have the advantage of playing the deciding leg at St James' Park.

Qarabag have reached the Champions League knockout stages for the first time, thanks to an impressive home run in Europe. They've beaten FC Copenhagen and Eintracht Frankfurt, and drawn with Chelsea.

But the hosts, who are second in the Azerbaijan Premier League, can be vulnerable – as their 6-0 defeat to Liverpool in the last round of the League Phase proves.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Qarabag v Newcastle on TV and online.
