Newcastle's response to losing the Wear-Tyne derby has been perfect, with nine points from nine available, including impressive victories over Chelsea and Tottenham. Confidence and belief will be rising all the time.
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Image of Mark Lawrenson Mark Lawrenson Football analyst
"All of a sudden, Magpies boss Alan Pardew is flavour of the month again, when five or six weeks ago he was apparently going to be the next manager to go. That is the madness of the Premier League - things change very quickly.
"But it is this sort of game that has undone Pardew in the past, at home against beatable opponents."
Read Lawro's full prediction and score
West Brom's 2-2 draw with Aston Villa, though, will have felt like a defeat. The Baggies were cruising at 2-0, but were eventually held to a sixth draw of the season.
Newcastle will certainly expect to record a fourth straight win. The defeat at Sunderland is their only reverse in the last six matches, and for once all the talk on Tyneside is about matters on the pitch.
Whilst there was understandable frustration in the last transfer window about the lack of new faces, it's worth pointing out the effect that their one acquisition has had.
Loic Remy's season-long loan move from QPR hardly dominated the back page headlines but his influence so far has been immense. His goal against Norwich was his eighth league goal in as many matches and his 14th in the Premier League since arriving in January.
Steve Clarke, who returns to the club where his coaching career began 15 years ago as assistant to Ruud Guilt, will be well aware of Remy's threat.
This is the Baggies' 13th game of the season. At that stage last season, Clarke had recorded eight victories in a dream start as a manager but if he wins this it would be only their fourth win of the current campaign.
Whilst they are difficult to beat, with just one defeat in nine games, they've found it difficult to close out three points and move themselves higher in the table.
Two month ago a trip to Tyneside may have been an easier proposition, but now all the momentum is with Newcastle and Alan Pardew will hope it stays that way.
