Newcastle United ran riots against Sheffield United as they scored five goals while conceding only once. Their latest win in the Premier League has placed them in the seventh position in the points table after 34 rounds of play.
It is fair to say, that the Magpies have a good chance of finishing this season at number six, above Manchester United. They will travel to Turf Moor to lock horns with Burnley this week. Newcastle United are the favourites for this clash.
4-3-3 Newcastle United Predicted Lineup Vs Burnley
Defence
Martin Dubravka will be operating between the sticks for Newcastle United. Though he conceded only one in the previous game, he looked a bit shaky whenever put under pressure. He would like to do well and change his reputation with limited games left in this term.
Right-back Tino Livramento had a mixed game against Sheffield United but should be fine to start this one. Fabian Schar is unlikely to face head for his poor show. He will partner with Dan Burn in the middle of the defence. Lewis Hall is developing into a reliable player and should get as much game time as possible.
Midfield
While Sean Longstaff and Elliot Anderson had average games, Bruno Guimaraes once again caught the limelight. He looked far better than other players on the pitch. No wonder why many major European clubs are running behind to get his signature in the summer.
Attack
No change in the offensive line for the Magpies. Alexander Isak continues to be the striker in the lineup with Jacob Murphy and Anthony Gordon operating on the flanks.
Sven Botman, Jammal Lascelles, Joe Willock, Matt Targett, Lewis Miley, Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton are the confirmed absentees for the visitors.
