Newcastle United have shown great performances in their last few games. Their latest win came against Manchester United in the Premier League by 2-0. The scoreline helped them climb up to the fifth position on the points table.
The Magpies have their next challenge lined up against Tottenham Hotspur in the league this weekend. It will be a fixture as they will have to travel away to play the game. It will also be an important game considering the fact that they have to face Arsenal in the EFL Cup semi-final next week.
Defence
Martin Dubravka‘s ball distribution was great enough. He should continue to operate between the sticks amid the absentee Nick Pope. Kieran Trippier was subbed off just before the hour mark and his participate is under the radar. His right-back position should be filled up by Tino Livramento.
Lloyd Kelly comes into the XI in place of Fabian Schar, who is suspended for this game after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season. The former will form the centre-back pair with Dan Burn. No change at the left-back spot as Lewis Hall continues to play there.

Midfield
Sandro Tonali should to be deployed as the deep lying midfielder once again. He will have the services of Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton in the middle of the park.
Attack
Eddie Howe has no concrete reason to alter anyone from the attacking lineup.
Jacob Murphy continues to run down the right flank while Anthony Gordo takes care of the other side of the pitch with Alexander Isak operating as the striker in the lineup.
Fabian Schar (suspension), Sven Botman (knee), and Nick Pope are sidelined while the availability of Kieran Trippier is in question.
