Pope In Goal, Wilson To Start | 4-3-3 Newcastle United Predicted XI Vs Sheffield United | OneFootball

Newcastle United will clash heads with Sheffield United at Bramall Lane this Sunday as they try to get all three points from this away encounter. The Magpies were held to a scoreless draw against AC Milan in the first leg of their UCL group stage, so they will be hungry for a win heading into this Premier League contest.

Eddie Howe will set his men up in a 4-3-3 formation and might make a few changes to his first XI for this game. Callum Wilson will get the nod over Alexander Isak up front while Elliot Anderson replaces Sandro Tonali in the midfield.

Nick Pope will function in goal for Newcastle after earning a clean sheet in his last outing. Fabian Schar will continue to play alongside Sven Botman at the centre of Howe’s defence as they focus on stopping the home team from scoring during the game.

Kieran Trippier will look to give a good account of himself as the right-back while Dan Burn continues on the other flank as the left-back. Howe will ask both of them to be solid defensively.

Jamaal Lascelles will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes and Elliot Anderson will make up the Tyneside club’s midfield. Their main job would be dominate possession and make life tough for the opposition at the centre of the park.

Sandro Tonali will have to settle for a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second half if needed.

Attack

Harvey Barnes would look to put in a good showing as the left-winger while Miguel Almiron tries to put his pace to good use on the right flank.

Callum Wilson will lead the charge for the Magpies down the middle. He was rested against AC Milan and would be eager to make a difference for Newcastle at Bramall Lane.
