Newcastle United will be looking to come back with a bang from their 1-1 draw against West Ham United against Bournemouth, as we try to call their predicted lineup.
Ahead of the contest on Saturday, we expect Eddie Howe to make 2 changes to his side against Gary O’Neil’s men.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Bournemouth
Nick Pope will keep his place in between the sticks, as per standard procedure in our Newcastle predicted lineup against Bournemouth.
The same goes for the ‘technically ridiculous’ Kieran Trippier at right-back.
The centre-back partnership of Fabian Schar and Sven Botman has been virtually perfect throughout the season, and we simply cannot see either of the pair being benched against Bournemouth.
At left-back as well, Dan Burn, who made the cut in Alan Shearer’s Premier League Team of the Season so far is set to start.
Sean Longstaff has been an underrated facet of the Magpies’ success this campaign and he seems almost guaranteed to play in defensive midfield.
Similarly, Joe Willock could start on the right side of the Newcastle midfield trio against Bournemouth in our predicted lineup.
Here’s where we anticipate a surprise, as Joelinton could be replaced by the ‘brilliant’ (via Chronicle Live, as said by Joey Barton) Elliot Anderson, who Eddie Howe recently said could add that creative spark that the suspended Bruno Guimaraes’ adds to the side.
At right-wing, Miguel Almiron has locked down the position, despite not being at his very best since the return of club football.
Up front, the same goes for Callum Wilson, who is likely to be one of the first names on the Newcastle team sheet against Bournemouth.
It is at left-wing where we anticipate a second change, with Anthony Gordon replacing Allan Saint-Maximin after his ‘sharp’ cameo against the Hammers.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Bournemouth: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Longstaff, Willock, Anderson, Almiron, Wilson, Gordon
