Newcastle United have just one match remaining before we wave farewell to 2023. After their Boxing Day meeting with Nottingham Forest, Eddie Howe's side will kick off the new year with a mouthwatering clash against Liverpool.
Attention will then turn to the January transfer window and any deals the Magpies can get over the line. They have been linked to a number of potential new signings to bolster their ranks amid a hefty injury crisis, so we've taken a look at how this Newcastle starting 11 could look after the January window.
Taking into account recent transfer rumours, here's how the lineup could change if the links came to fruition.
