Newcastle hope for a rebound today against Ipswich Town at St. James’ Park. The lads fell to Aston Villa last weekend after claiming 6 straight victories and reaching third in the Premier League table.
The match marks the return of Eddie Howe, who missed the previous three matches with pneumonia. A win in this ultra-critical fixture would thrust Newcastle back into place and in a great position with four matches remaining.
This is the team Eddie Howe has chosen with Joe Willock in for Joelinton, who misses out with a reported minor knee injury. Sven Botman also returns to the squad after a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Comment #46Rod, I think you only see goals
Isak was mint in the Man U Game and against Palace he could have easily got another goal if the keeper hadn’t of made two good saves
Isak is fine, just people expect him to score worldies every game

Comment #53It’s soft, does look like he dived, but he’d be mental to dive in that position, so it’s more likely it affected his balance in a way that we cabt see on camera.

Comment #613 points are all that matters but we need to inject more openings,could be a good game for Gordon second half
Disallowed goal should of stood their defender pushed Bruno who definitely didn’t foul

Comment #63I think we need to get wilson on to play fox in the box with all them crosses. Surely against 10 men we could take off a mid drop isak deep and play wilson up top 4231.
Later take a defender off go 3412 or sumat

Comment #64We have to avoid getting too niggled and fouling back in the second half. Ipswich are trying to drag this game down into a scrap and we can’t let them.
I can only imagine what Joelinton would have been doing had he been on the pitch first half – he wouldn’t have been backing down

Comment #66Terrible half of refereeing.
Must be the record for crosses in one half.
Need to rack up a cricket score.
Delap should be signed up, kid will be a great player in time. Has pace an all.
Like him a lot me.

Comment #70Bruno & Tonali doing a great job shielding. Willock is not really involved, we could swap him out and play to up top.

Comment #77We need a proper quality midfielder to rotate with the three regulars.
Take one of them out the midfield and it is very noticeable.
