5 West Brom Players Who Will Target NUFC At Set-Pieces

2. Victor Anichebe

If there is one West Bromwich Albion player who would love nothing more than to score at St James' Park it is Victor Anichebe. The 27-year-old suffered a career-threatening injury on Tyneside while playing for Everton - after Kevin Nolan put in a horror challenge on the forward. Anichebe is 6ft 3ins, he is powerful and he loves to bully opposition defenders - something he will attempt to do against Newcastle. He isn't prolific and has only scored two Premier League goals all season, but Anichebe is a handful and is yet another player the Magpies defence must be wary of. What's more, Anichebe already has three career goals against Newcastle - including the winner for Everton at St James' Park back in January 2013.
