Newcastle United are set to take on Preston North End in their next match.
Newcastle United fans appear to want Jamaal Lascelles to be dropped, with Ciaran Clark expected to return soon.
Clark missed Newcastle’s last six matches through injury, in what has been a major blow for Rafael Benitez’s side.
Newcastle have won just two of their last six outings, and they appear to be stumbling over the line this season.
Newcastle still have a healthy advantage in the race for automatic promotion, but Reading and Huddersfield Town have both closed the gap.
And Lascelles is one of the players who has taken a lot of the blame for Newcastle’s poor form.
Magpies supporters feel that their captain’s displays have been poor of late.
And if Clark is back fit again, Newcastle fans want the former Aston Villa man to partner Chancel Mbemba in their defence against Preston North End.
If Newcastle do beat Preston, they will be just one win away from securing their spot alongside Brighton & Hove Albion in the Championship’s top two.
