The team sheets are in ahead of today’s 3pm kick off at Turf Moor, where Eddie Howe’s Mags take on Vincent Kompany’s Burley in a huge game at both ends of the table. Here’s how we line up:
NUFC XI: Dubravka, Livramento, Krafth, Burn, Hall, Bruno, Longstaff, Murphy, Gordon, Isak, Wilson.
SUBS: Pope, Dummett, Joelinton, Ritchie, Barnes, Almiron, Anderson, White, A Murphy
Callum Wilson is back in the side after a couple of positive cameos, joining Alexander Isak in attack. Anthony Gordon starts down the left, with Jacob Murphy down the right and a midfield pairing of Bruno and Longstaff.
In other news, it’s also great to see Joelinton, Miguel Almiron and Nick Pope all back in the squad after the trio returned to first team. As expected, Fabian Schat misses out ue to a hamstring issue, seeing Emil Krafth start at centre-back alongside Dan Burn.
Howay the lads!

Looks a bit lopsided and light in the midfield area to me.
