Welcome back to Teamsheet… Mail Sport’s original football memory game with a twist that gives you the chance to test your football knowledge against your mates.

Today we are going back to a match in May 2000, when Newcastle earned a crushing 4-2 win over Arsenal to end the season on a high at St James’ Park.

The match saw a landmark 300th career goal for one Magpies star, as Sir Bobby Robson’s side overcame an understrength Arsenal ahead of their UEFA Cup final.

We want you to name the Newcastle side who lined up to face the Gunners on the day.

It’s just for fun, so see how you fare and share your Teamsheet score… full instructions on how to play are at the bottom of the article and in the game itself. And you can also pick any team you like and guess their starting XI.

Best of luck!

HOW TO PLAY

The aim of the game is to score as few points as possible!

If you guess a player at the first attempt you score one point – so the lowest score for guessing every player at the first attempt is 11.

Guess a correct letter in the right position, and it’ll turn green. Guess a correct letter but in the wrong position, and it’ll turn yellow.

You have six guesses for each player – and if you fail, we’ll reveal their identity for 11 points! You can also ask for a free letter, but it costs you a point.

So play on to see if you’ll score the best possible total of 11 – or fail on every player and score 121.
