Newcastle United will clash heads with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium this Sunday afternoon as they try to secure all three points away from home in the Premier League. The Magpies suffered a tough 3-2 loss away at Manchester United recently, so they would be eager to bounce back in this game.
Eddie Howe will set his side up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make some changes to his first XI for this game. Harvey Barnes, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton will all play from the start of this contest versus the Bees.
4-3-3 Newcastle United Predicted Lineup To Face Brentford
Defence
Martin Dubravka will play in goal for the Tyneside club after shipping in three goals in his last league appearance. Emil Krafth will continue to play alongside Dan Burn at the centre of Howe’s defence as they try to keep the opposition attackers frustrated throughout the game.
Kieran Trippier will continue to operate as the right-back while Lewis Hall hopes to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Fabian Schar will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Howe could opt for a midfield three of Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes and Sean Longstaff for this game. All three of them need to pass the ball well from midfield if the Magpies are to create enough chances to win his contest on the road.
Elliot Anderson will have to settle for a place on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the second half if required.
Attack
Harvey Barnes will look to give a good account of himself on the left flank while Miguel Almiron tries to make a difference for Newcastle from the right wing. Alexander Isak will spearhead the Tyneside club’s attack in the final third. He would be eager to find the back of the net after shooting blanks against Man United recently.
Callum Wilson is a major doubt for this game due to illness. However, he might be named on the bench if he can recover in time for this game.
