After Tuesday’s good 2-0 win at Arsenal, Newcastle United are in cup motion once more because the FA Cup involves St James’ Park for a Third Spherical tie with Andy Woodman’s Bromley.
Alexander Isak will likely be rested and Nick Pope, Jamaal Lascelles and Callum Wilson stay out by means of harm, however Emil Krafth could possibly be again within the squad as Eddie Howe seems to maintain the run going after seven straight wins.
Right here’s the much-changed facet we’re backing the boss to go along with forward of immediately’s 3pm kick-off.
(4-3-3): Vlachodimos – Trippier, Schar, Kelly, Targett – Longstaff, Bruno, Miley – Almiron, Osula, Barnes.
In fact, this might imply wholesale modifications from our midweek win over Arsenal. However, with our greatest XI on hearth, fatigued on the finish of Tuesday’s sport and going through two league video games subsequent week towards Wolves and Bournemouth, it appears like an ideal time to rotate.
This might a number of fringe gamers and some kids a giant likelihood to impress Eddie Howe towards League Two Bromley, with the boss revealing on Friday that we’ve got so many “superb gamers” determined to indicate what they will do.
It might be nice see Lewis Miley again in motion after a 2024 disrupted by two unlucky accidents, whereas Will Osula will certainly get a chance from the beginning with Isak rested and Wilson out injured.
It is also an opportunity for Lloyd Kelly to construct some confidence and play in his finest place, with Greek stopper Odysseas Vlachoidimos additionally more likely to be in objective with Pope absent and Dubravka within the midst of discussing his future.
Fabian Schar has been suspended for our final two so it is smart for him to start out, whereas Bruno Guimaraes, who was additionally banned for Tuesday’s sport, may nicely get 60 minutes or so earlier than somebody like Willock comes on for the ultimate half hour?
A couple of I’m uncertain on are forgotten man Matt Targett – Kelly may transfer to left-back if Krafth is ok to start out at centre-back and Miguel Almiron simply in case we’re eager to guard him forward of a possible January exit – however it’s my finest guess at what guarantees to be a reasonably new-look facet.
OUT: Dubravka, Livramento, Botman, Burn, Corridor, Tonali, Joelinton, Willock, Murphy, Isak, Gordon.
IN: Vlachodimos, Trippier, Schar, Kelly, Targett, Bruno, Longstaff, Lewis Miley, Almiron, Barnes, Osula
