Newcastle United’s predicted starting XI v Nottingham Forest as Eddie Howe makes bold decision
Newcastle United predicted starting XI to face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
Newcastle United travel to Nottingham Forest eyeing another three points to take into the two-week international break.
Eddie Howe’s side ended a run of six games without a win against Wolverhampton Wanderers last Sunday after goals from Alexander Isak and Miguel Almiron.
Isak was among five changes from Eddie Howe. Almiron dropped to the bench but reacted in the perfect way by scoring a 79th-minute winner.
Will Howe recall Almiron and others to his starting XI, or keep faith with those who started at St James’ Park last time out?
Here’s the Newcastle starting XI we’re predicting Howe to name:
Isak was among five changes from Eddie Howe. Almiron dropped to the bench but reacted in the perfect way by scoring a 79th-minute winner.
5. LB: Dan Burn
There were calls to recall Matt Targett against Wolves but Burn answered his critics with a strong performance.
6. CM: Bruno Guimaraes
If the Brazilian is fit, he starts. Even when Bruno is having a quiet game, he’s still effective.
7. CM: Sean Longstaff
Longstaff has become a regular in United’s three-man midfield, starting 25 matches in a row.
8. CM: Joe Willock
Willock was one of Newcastle’s standout performers against Wolves and played the pass that led to Almiron’s 79th-minute winner.
