Eddie Howe has just announced his Newcastle team for the home game against Luton Town this afternoon.
Gordon leads the Line and there’s no sign of Alexander Isak – but Harvey Barnes is on the bench

We really should be beating a bottom four side at home, but Luton have won their last two leage games and are in good form.
Over 80% of our readers think we can win this game – let’s hope they are right about that.

Comment #86100% Longstaffs fault again. But lets pretend hes unreal because hes scored 2 premier league goals all season. Lets ignore the 15 other ones he should have scored during the season. Rolls eyes

Comment #88Great open game, fair play to luton for making it a very entertaining game, we need to try and keep tabs on Ogbene as he is one of Irelands most dangerous players. Jeez luton back on level terms.

Comment #96Miggy doesnt look great on the left not effective at all, and Gordon not
at his best because hes better on the left.
Second half Miggy right Murphy off, Gordon left, Wilson on????

Comment #101Ross Barkley has been a revaluation for Luton all season, he was always a quality player, i guess we will see Wilson introduced possibly early in the second half.

Comment #103Ye Brunos not great i think Tino for Burn is a goodvdhotnbut how will never take burn off, best he will do is move him in like last week but we can only do that if were ahead.

Comment #105yeah…Miggy still looks a bit off his fitness levels after being ill…I think Bruno has had a knock or two. Grab another…get Wilson on and move Gorden back to the left. Tino has more speed but we lose the height as Burn wins 100% of anything going in the air that direction..tough call there.

Comment #106Our passing has been pretty poor again which is so frustrating after being do good on Tuesday.
Luton have a much better pass accuracy ffs, says it all.

Comment #107Wilson on for Murphy at hlf time. Move miggy bk over to the right Wilson center Gordon left.gordon is not a center forward and never will b I’m sorry to say.get Wilson there’s plenty of space for him he knows what runs to do unlik Gordon.

Comment #115the back 5 players for luton must be exhausted..theyve been sprinting backwards for better part of that half.
newcastle need to switch to a back 5 if they score next. luton dont look good attacking when there are numbers in front of them
if i were a betting man, id say newcaslte finish this game at least 2 goals ahead. luton look poor defensively
