Newcastle United's lineup is set, and it's a mix of familiar faces and fresh strategies! Eddie Howe's squad is riding high after securing their third consecutive Premier League win mid-week, triumphing over Leeds United at St. James' Park, thanks to a late goal from Harvey Barnes. But who's in, and who's out for the upcoming match? Let's dive in!
Barnes is one of the four players retaining their positions. The others are Malick Thiaw, Sandro Tonali (both subbed at halftime on Wednesday), and Nick Woltemade.
Unfortunately, Fabian Schär suffered an injury against Leeds and won't be playing.
Aaron Ramsdale will be in goal, facing one of his former teams. Kieran Trippier is back in action in defense and will captain the side.
Woltemade and Yoane Wissa will team up in the forward line for the first time.
And this is the part most people miss... Youngster Sam Alabi is on the bench again, fresh from playing for the under-21s against Middlesbrough the night before.
Here's the confirmed Newcastle United lineup: Aaron Ramsdale, Kieran Trippier (captain), Sven Botman, Sandro Tonali, Yoane Wissa, Harvey Barnes, Malick Thiaw, Tino Livramento, Nick Woltemade, Joe Willock, and Jacob Ramsey.
The substitutes are: Nick Pope, Lewis Hall, Joelinton, Anthony Gordon, Alex Murphy, Bruno Guimarães, Sean Neave, Lewis Miley, and Sam Alabi.
