Newcastle United step-up their preparations for the resumption of competitive action when they take on Al Hilal on Thursday evening.

The game against the reigning Saudi Pro League champions will take place at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium and will kick-off at 5pm UK time.

And Newcastle supporters back home can watch the game live.

The game will be available to watch for fans in the UK only for free on NUFC TV.

The club say: "Supporters will need to be logged in to their NUFC TV account to watch the match, and are strongly advised to log in as early as possible to avoid congestion.

"NUFC TV is compatible with Chromecast, meaning you can stream the game via your television."

Ahead of the game, Newcastle held a supporter engagement event in Riyadh on Wednesday.

Eddie Howe, Jamaal Lascelles, Jacob Murphy and Sean Longstaff joined Amanda Staveley, Jamie Reuben, CEO Darren Eales, Shola Ameobi and first team coach Simon Weatherstone at the event, which was attended by around 90 supporters.
