Newcastle United manager Steve McClaren has reportedly warned his squad that no player is currently guaranteed their spot in the Magpies' first XI given the club's dismal start to the Premier League season.

The Daily Mail is reporting McLaren will make a raft of changes ahead of Saturday's clash with Watford at St James' Park.

One casualty is likely to be Papiss Cisse, who reportedly pulled a no-show for a meeting with McClaren during the week.

Things do not get any easier for McLaren's men in the coming weeks, with Chelsea and Manchester City their next two Premier League opponents.
