Newcastle could make several changes for their FA Cup third round tie.
Newcastle United will take a break from their battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League when they host League Two side Luton Town in the FA Cup third round tomorrow afternoon.
Rafael Benitez may well take the opportunity to make some changes to his Newcastle side and here are three fringe players who could receive a run-out at St James’ Park.
Freddie Woodman
The young goalkeeper has waited patiently for his chance at Newcastle, taking in loan spells with Hartlepool United, Crawley Town and Kilmarnock.
With Rob Elliot facing a race to be fit in time to feature, there is a possibility that Woodman could finally make his senior debut for Newcastle.
Henri Saivet
After being on the periphery of proceedings for an extended period, Saivet was given a shock recall to the Newcastle starting lineup against West Ham United last month and seized his opportunity as he found the net in the 1-1 draw.
Saivet hasn’t been involved since but will hope to at least get some minutes against Luton.
Massadio Haidara
After recovering from a knee injury, Haidara has been on the bench twice for Newcastle in the Premier League recently but has yet to receive any playing time.
The left-back will look to feature against Luton and prove to Benitez that he can be a valuable member of the squad.
