Newcastle United will welcome Everton at St. James’ Park this Wednesday night as they look to grab a good result at home in the Premier League. The Magpies were held to a scoreless draw away at Manchester United recently, so they will be hungry to get back to winning ways in league football.
Eddie Howe will probably stick with his favoured 4-3-3 formation and is expected to name a strong team for this game. Joe Willock could get a chance to impress from the start while Joelinton gets a rest on the bench.
4-3-3 Newcastle United Predicted Lineup To Face Everton
Defence
Nick Pope will operate in goal for the Magpies after securing a solid clean sheet at Old Trafford last weekend. Fabian Schar is a major doubt for this game and would have to pass a late fitness test if he wants to play alongside Sven Botman at the heart of Newcastle’s defence.
Dan Burn will fill in at left-back while Kieran Trippier hopes to catch the eye on the other flank as the right-back. Both of them will be eager to impress with their performances going forward.
Jamaal Lascelles will offer cover for the defensive spots on Howe’s bench. However, Emil Krafth is unlikely to be ready in time for this game this week as he is still recovering from a knee injury.
Midfield
Joe Willock, Bruno Guimaraes and Sean Longstaff could get a chance to make up Newcastle’s midfield in this midweek fixture. All three of them would have to work hard collectively in establishing their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park.
Joelinton could get a rest on the bench but might come on to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if Howe decides to call upon his services.
Attack
Jacob Murphy would be eager to catch the eye on the left flank while Miguel Almiron hopes to put in a productive display from the right wing.
Callum Wilson will get the responsibility to spearhead Newcastle’s attack down the middle. The English striker failed to register a goal last weekend, so he will be desperate to get his name on the scoresheet versus the Toffees later this week.
Chris Wood will be available for selection on the bench but might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if the Magpies are in need of a goal by then.
