Jones looks forward to Magpies clash

North End's next match is against the table-topping Magpies on Monday November 23 and Jones accepts they face a stern examination.Yet he feels Newcastle's status as favourites could work in Preston's favour.Jones said: "They've still got many experienced, Premier League-class players and it is going to be a big test."Last season we survived these tests and performed better against these so-called bigger teams, we performed better as the underdogs."I imagine going into the Newcastle game people will class us as the underdogs, so we are looking forward to that and looking forward to a much better team performance."
