Newcastle v West Brom represents an attractive proposition for a Monday night and the top-of-the-table Championship clash should be entertaining.
Nottingham Forest's surge into second place means there is a degree of pressure on both sides going into the game.
Forest's fine form has taken them to within two points of The Magpies and four points clear of The Baggies, even if they have played two matches more than their chief rivals.
It's looking like it could turn into a three-horse race in the division and Billy Davies will be watching developments closely at St James' Park.
Newcastle have drawn three of their last four games in all competitions and have the same record in the league.
It's impossible to claim this suggests a loss of form from the leaders but they do seem in need of a new centre-forward. Now Jermaine Beckford is staying at Leeds until the end of the season, the hunt goes on.
Derby managed to get a 0-0 stalemate on Tyneside recently and Roberto Di Matteo could adopt similar tactics, although let's hope he goes for victory.
West Brom haven't played since that damaging home defeat to Forest but are capable of causing problems for Chris Hughton's side so, although 21/20 about the hosts could prove popular, we feel it will be tight.
A high-scoring draw may be a decent investment - 2-2 is 16s with Sky Bet and Blue Square while an ambitious 3-3 is a whopping 100-1 with Sporting Bet.
