Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has picked his team to go up against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane in the Premier League this afternoon.

 

Howe’s side played out a 0-0 draw at AC Milan in the Champions League in midweek and must now deal with the demands of quickly adjusting back to the Premier League.

 

 

 

Midfield pair Joe Willock and Joelinton remain unavailable due to injury.

 

Sheffield United are without a win in the Premier League so far this season and have lost four of their five games, with Newcastle starting this afternoon’s clash as heavy favourites.

 

 

Nick Pope starts in goal for Newcastle, while the back four is composed of Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman, Fabian Schar and Dan Burn.

 

In midfield, Elliot Anderson, Bruno Guimaraes and Sean Longstaff play, while Miguel Almiron and Harvey Barnes support Callum Wilson.

 

 

Howe can shake things up by turning to his bench and his options include Alexander Isak and Sandro Tonali
