Team News

Newcastle
Sheff Utd
  • Steve Bruce has no further absentee concerns ahead of the welcome of Sheffield United, but could make one change to the XI that started the 4-3 loss to Manchester City.
  • Ciaran Clark may come in for Federico Fernandez in defence.
  • Jack Robinson returned to action in Sheffield United's 1-0 win at Everton and may keep his place in the side.
  • Daniel Jebbison netted the only goal of the game and should keep his spot in attack.
  • In all, Paul Heckingbottom may elect against any changes to his side after Sunday's victory.

Prediction

  • Newcastle played out an entertaining seven-goal thriller with Manchester City on Friday night, but it means they have won just one of their last four. They have won just one of their last six at St. James' Park.
  • Two of Sheffield United's six league wins this season have come after their relegation was confirmed and they seem to be playing better without pressure. A 1-0 win on Sunday was just their second on the road in 2020/21.
  • Newcastle haven't been great at home this season, but they should shut Sheffield United out with a low scoring encounter on the cards.
