The teams are in ahead of today’s crucial clash with Wolves, where a win would see us leapfrog Liverpool and move back up to fifth.
Here’s the side Eddie Howe has gone with in the 4.30pm kick-off at St James’ Park:
(4-3-3): Pope – Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn – Longstaff, Bruno, Willock – Murphy, Isak, Saint-Maximin.
SUBS: Dubravka, Dummett, Lascelles, Wilson, Ritchie, Targett, Manquillo, Almiron, Anderson.
Howe has made FIVE changes, featuring a first Premier League start since November (where we beat Southampton 4-1) for Jacob Murphy, who replaces Miguel Almiron.
Elsewhere, Fabian Schar, Joe Willock, Allan Saint-Maximin and Alexander Isak come into the side, replacing Jamaal Lascelles, Joelinton (suspended), Anthony Gordon and Callum Wilson. Anthony Gordon misses out with an ‘ankle injury.’
Here’s how the visitors line up, seeing Adama Traore come into the Wolves side along with Raul Jimenez, Daniel Podence and Joao Moutinho.
Wolves XI: Sa, Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Jonny, Lemina, Neves, Moutinho, Traoré, Jimenez, Podence.
