The confirmed Newcastle team v Arsenal has now been announced.
Eddie Howe hoping NUFC can continue to build on an excellent last couple of months of performances and results.
Eleven matches, seven clean sheets, seven wins and three draws, with just the one defeat, twenty seven goals scored and only six conceded.
Victories over Man U, PSG, Crystal Palace, Man City, Burnley, Brentford and Sheffield United, plus draws away at Wolves, AC Milan and West Ham, with only that one defeat to Dortmund since 2 September.
Newcastle team v Arsenal:
Pope, Trippier, Lascelles, Schar, Burn, Longstaff, Bruno, Joelinton, Almiron, Wilson, Gordon
Eddie Howe making eight changes from Man U:
IN
Pope, Trippier, Lascelles, Schar, Burn, Bruno, Almiron, Gordon
OUT
Dubravka, Dummett, Ritchie, Krafth, Hall, Livramento, Willock, Lewis Miley, Murphy
SUBS:
Dubravka, Dummett, Ritchie, Krafth, Hall, Livramento, Murphy, Willock, Lewis Miley
Great to see Lewis Miley back amongst the subs after a bout of glandular fever AND especially Jacob Murphy as well!
Proving yet again that the media find out absolutely nothing, the lifelong NUFC fan back in the matchday squad without a single journalist having a clue!! So clearly his shoulder proving not to have needed surgery and fine to play again.
