Bellars Set For Toon Match

Bellamy has been out of action since he picked up an ankle injury in Blackburn's Premiership opener at West Ham but Mark Hughes will definitely include the Cardiff-born striker against United.

Robbie Savage, always one to stoke things up said: "There is a lot riding on the Newcastle game because Graeme Souness and Alan Shearer are coming back, while Michael Owen will be out there as well. But there is also the Craig Bellamy factor and I am sure that he will want to prove that Souness was wrong to get rid of him."

Savage too had a big bust-up with Souness after Newcastle drew 2-2 with Birmingham City at St Andrew's last season.
