Newcastle United's lineup is set, but with a few unexpected twists! Eddie Howe's squad is riding high after securing their third consecutive Premier League win, a nail-biting victory over Leeds United at St. James' Park, thanks to Harvey Barnes' late-game heroics. But the question is, who will be on the field for the next match?
Four players who were key in the midweek triumph will retain their spots. They are: Harvey Barnes, Malick Thiaw, Sandro Tonali, and Nick Woltemade.
Unfortunately, the team has suffered a setback. Fabian Schär, who was stretchered off during the Leeds game, will be sidelined due to injury.
In a notable change, Aaron Ramsdale is set to start in goal, facing one of his former clubs. Adding to the excitement, Kieran Trippier returns to the defense and will captain the side.
Woltemade is paired with Yoane Wissa in the forward line for the first time.
Youngster Sam Alabi, who came off the bench for the under-21s against Middlesbrough the night before, is again among the substitutes.
Here's the confirmed lineup for Newcastle United: 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.
