Jason Tindall: Jason Tindall says Newcastle United can 'rely' on the in-form Jacob Murphy after the winger bagged his ninth goal and 13th assist of the campaign in Wednesday's 5-0 win over Crystal Palace.

The Magpies head to Aston Villa on Saturday on the back of six successive wins - a run of form that has lifted them to third in the Premier League table - and Murphy's superb form has helped sustain United's push for Champions League qualification.

Assistant head coach Tindall, who again stood in for Howe at Friday morning's media briefing, along with Graeme Jones will lead the team once again at Villa Park this weekend as Howe continues to recover from pneumonia.
