Harewood available - Hughton

Newcastle manager Chris Hughton insists striker Marlon Harewood will play against Sheffield United if he is needed, despite the stick he received last weekend. Harewood was booed off when he was substituted against Doncaster but Hughton says he will have no hesitations in playing him again on Monday evening. "Marlon has been very good in training. He's been very positive and he's an experienced player," he told the Evening Chronicle. "The ups and downs of performances for strikers are there for all to see. Marlon's been fine this week."
