NEWCASTLE Newcastle’s return to Europe’s elite couldn’t have gone any bigger! They were drawn in the “Group of Death” alongside PSG, Borussia Dortmund and Milan – three sides who have reached the final in the last 16 years. It will be a huge test for The Magpies, but we think they can make it to the knockout rounds! WHERE WILL THEY FINISH? MATCH SAYS: 2ND YOU SAY: ARSENAL Gunners supporters were pretty pleased with their group-stage draw, although last season’s Europa League winners Sevilla did get the better of Man. United en route to the trophy, while PSV beat Arsenal 2-0 at home in last year’s Europa League group stage. We think French club Lens will finish bottom of Group B… WHERE WILL THEY FINISH? MATCH SAYS: 1ST YOU SAY:…

VICKY LOSADA BRIGHTON Even though she’s 32 years old and edging towards the end of her career, Losada is a really big-name signing for Brighton! The Spain international has won 65 caps for her country and has lifted silverware everywhere that she’s gone – including at giants Barcelona, Arsenal, Man. City and Roma!

FC 24’S FINEST! Four players on the game share the highest rating (91), so we’re shouting out to Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, Kylian Mbappe and Alexia Putellas! MATCH can’t wait to use Haaland’s epic 93 shooting, KDB’s 94 passing, Mbappe’s 97 pace and Putellas’ 92 dribbling! BEST KEEPER! The best goalkeeper on the game is officially Real Madrid and Belgium superstar Thibaut Courtois! The 90-rated goalie’s jaw-dropping 93 reflexes are going to make him incredibly hard to score against, while it should also help with the extra hard penalty-saving mechanics. More about that later on… TOP THREE LION! After a quality season with Tottenham in 2022-23, Harry Kane earned a one-point boost to his OVR to make him the best English player on the game, rated90!

Bayern Munich are going to be even deadlier this season now they’ve signed Harry Kane! The England striker has 21 goals in his first 32 CL matches, becoming the fastest player ever to reach 20 goals – until Erling Haaland overtook him! 3 CITY CHAMPS! Talking about Haaland, all eyes will be on Man. City as they look to defend their trophy!

Everton Third Shirt 2023-24 Despite the different shades of grey across their third shirt, Everton fans will be hoping it isn't a "grey" season on the pitch for their side! We're big fans of the simplified Prince Rupert Tower logo taking the place of the club crest – it first appeared on The Toffees' badge in 1938, before not appearing again till 1978! Price: £65 evertondirect.evertonfc.com Tottenham Third Shirt 2023-24 Tottenham’s third shirt didn't have the best of debuts after they were knocked out of the EFL Cup by Fulham while wearing it! It’s a really classy number though, so we think it'll grow on Spurs fans even if they're still feeling the pain from that poor result down at Craven Cottage! Price: £80 shop.tottenhamhotspur.com Dortmund Away Shirt 2023-24 Borussia…
