After one other worldwide break and no Newcastle United recreation over the weekend, we’re lastly again in Premier League motion tonight as West Ham arrive on Tyneside.
Right here’s the XI we’re anticipating to start out when the workforce sheets are launched at 6.45pm and why:
Predicted XI: Pope – Livramento, Schar, Kelly, Corridor – Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock – Gordon, Isak, Joelinton.
Our one and solely predicted change comes at centre-back, the place Lloyd Kelly appears to be like set to switch the suspended Dan Burn after the large man from Blyth obtained his fifth reserving of the season final outing.
Elsewhere, I can see Eddie Howe sticking by the opposite 10 who began our 3-1 win at Nottingham Forest over two weeks in the past, with each full-backs flying following England debuts, our midfield properly balanced following Sean Longstaff’s return to the aspect, in addition to Joelinton and Anthony Gordon impressing out broad both aspect of the in-form Alexander Isak.
Sandro Tonali and Harvey Barnes each helped change the sport within the second half at Forest and will likely be pushing for begins, however they’re more likely to make up what could possibly be a robust bench; particularly if Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier are again within the squad.
