This is the team we are predicting Steve Bruce to select for tomorrow’s match at Bournemouth. It has six changes from the FA Cup quarterfinal.
Steve Bruce admitted there would be changes during his press conference this morning. With four games in eleven days, he’ll have to start thinking about giving some players a rest.
In our prediction, Bruce will rest Allan Saint-Maximin, Isaac Hayden, and Javier Manquillo, who have started the last three matches. The head coach is also likely to go back to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
Andy Carroll retains his place, and Joelinton comes in on the left for Saint-Maximin. Miguel Almiron returns to the number 10 role and is one of four Magpies who will play four straight matches in our prediction. The others are all defenders in Danny Rose, Jamaal Lascelles, and Federico Fernandez.
Matt Ritchie still isn’t back to full strength after coming off against Aston Villa, so this is the perfect time to give Valentino Lazaro a game on the right.
Nabil Bentaleb gets his first start since the league resumed coming in for Isaac Hayden. Jonjo Shelvey returns to the midfield after resting against Manchester City.
Emil Krafth comes in for Manquillo at right-back. He still has not played since injuring his ankle at Everton in January.
Of course, Martin Dubravka resumes his place in goal in what would be his 82nd straight start in the Premier League for Newcastle.

Comment #126KV,
You’re being bullied in some of the most disgraceful behaviour I’ve ever witnessed on here, absolutely shameful. Why not take a break for a few weeks and if you do come back to discuss football maybe think about a name change. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like this is going to stop and it can’t be good for you. Those constantly goading you should be ashamed of themselves.

Telling someone you asked IN BLOCK CAPITALS for everyone that he wouldn’t last five minutes on a night out isn’t goading him, ok.
Anyway, I’ve offered him my advice and will let you get on with it.

Comment #146I am simply astonished at the amount of aggro on this blog. Aren’t we all Toon fans? If we met in the pub we would talk football and there would be none of this rubbish. Perhaps stuff gets lost in translation and some on here do like going down blind alleys, but everyone is entitled to ignore what they want. Perhaps it’s the demon drink kicking in. Behave. Just think about what you’re saying.

Comment #151Jail
I’m seriously considering it mate, but would rather somebody stepped in and tried to sort it out because it’s very damaging and these problems won’t go away if I do, they’ll just get passed on to the next person, and there will be one less person on here to combat it. I’m resillient but I also have no desire to spend my days listening to angry bigots and bullys ranting on, and there are too many of both here, so I’ll give it some serious thought.

I’d like to see a clamp-down on that sort of language at the very least, and if anyone refuses I wouldn’t lose sleep over seeing them banned. The way this looks to anyone reading, it will not do us any favours.
