In goal for Newcastle this afternoon is Martin Dubravka, with a backline of Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn, and Lewis Hall.
The Magpies’ midfield trio consists of Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, and Joe Willock, while Anthony Gordon and Jacob Murphy will support striker Alexander Isak.
Eddie Howe has several options on the bench, including Lewis Miley and Callum Wilson, should he need to make changes during the game.
