Newcastle United face off with visiting opposition side Sheffield United at St James' Park in their Premier League clash on Saturday. Time to bring you the latest player updates and predicted line ups.
Newcastle United will be looking for an improved result here following a 2-0 Premier League defeat in their last game at the hands of Crystal Palace. It looks as if The Magpies may well go for a 4-3-3 system for the game and select Martin Dubravka, Jacob Murphy, Emil Krafth, Fabian Schär, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimarães, Elliot Anderson, Anthony Gordon, Alexander Isak and Harvey Barnes.
Matt Targett, Nick Pope, Miguel Almirón, Kieran Trippier, Lewis Miley, Joe Willock, Joelinton, Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles are unavailable for Newcastle manager Eddie Howe.
How Newcastle United might line up against Sheffield United
Since a losing effort in their last game against Manchester United in Premier League action, Sheffield United and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one. There’s a good chance that The Blades could decide to elect for a 3-5-2 lineup using Wesley Foderingham, Mason Holgate, Anel Ahmedhodzic, Auston Trusty, Jayden Bogle, Gustavo Hamer, Oliver Arblaster, Ben Osborn, Andre Brooks, Ben Brereton Díaz and Cameron Archer.
Sheff Utd boss Chris Wilder has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. John Egan (Foot injury) and Chris Basham (Leg injury) are not ready for selection.
