Confirmed Newcastle team v Brentford announced – Pope, Joelinton, Bruno, Barnes all start | OneFootball

The confirmed Newcastle team v Brentford has now been announced.

Newcastle United looking to end the season with a win that would guarantee finishing above Man U and at least top seven.

Whilst victory for Newcastle AND a win for Eddie Howe’s old side Bournemouth at Chelsea, would see NUFC end up in sixth in the final Premier League table.

A win for Newcastle would also make it five victories (home and away) in a row over Brentford.

Newcastle United team v Brentford:

Pope; Krafth, Schar, Burn, Hall; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Joelinton; J Murphy, Isak, Barnes

So four changes made by Eddie Howe.

IN

Pope, Schar, Joelinton, Barnes

Dubravka, Trippier, Anderson, Gordon

Subs:

Dubravka, Trippier, Dummett, Wilson, Ritchie, Almiron, Anderson, White, A Murphy

A welcome return for Callum Wilson on the bench, though disappointing to see player of the season Anthony Gordon having to miss the final game.

That blow to the ankle at Old Trafford apparently ruling him out.
