Pretty much our standard setup.

[Frank Grimes]

Antony doesn't start.

 

[SAF is the GOAT]

Weather currently is -3, bloody hell

 

[Leftback99]

Martial starts

 

[lex talionis]

Not really. It took us in top form last season to beat them.

The other occasions in PL, even when we had a mistake free in defense, we failed to beat them at home, and got beaten at their ground.

Unless there is new injury, their staring XI from PSG is plenty of strong. We're not exactly strong ourselves. Don't let Galatasaray performance deceive us. We saw in the League Cup game that Newcastle weakened team is arguably better than Galatasaray.

Newcastle are a weakened side and, despite our CL form, we've begun to put together decent performances.

There's been much whingeing about our midfield play, but what's butchered us this season is our poor finishing and our poor keeper play. I'm asking a lot, but if our finishing and keeping is at an acceptable level I'm very confident we can beat Newcastle. But I will grant you that Newcastle has reason to be confident against us, but they really do need us to be poor, as we have been for most of the season, for them to beat us.

 

[Frank Grimes]

No Hojlund

 

[TsuWave]

Please be solid defensively and compact off the ball, please.

 

[Giggsy13]

They will totally outplay us tonight. We'll lose by 3 goals.

They won’t.

Newcastle's weakened side is not that weakened from when they beat Arsenal a few rounds ago, nor the team they fielded to beat us in League Cup game. They lack of bench option, but their starting XI is still very strong.

Their worst state was against Bournemouth where they lost players from already weakened starting XI mid game.

Their domestic home record has been ridiculously good for the past 18 months or so, as other posters had point out. Barely any teams have beaten them. They can force goals without our mistake. Our scoring form is untested against an actual tough opposition.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Shaw at CB?

 

[Chip]

No Hojlund

Not even on the bench?

 

[lysglimt]

They won’t.

I dont think they will outplay us - but with our goalkeeper we can still lose by 3 despite matching them on the pitch

 

[C3Pique]

Our bunch won't be able to hack the atmosphere, guaranteed. Spineless wimps with the exception of Kobbie.

 

[Real Madras]

They done us like a kipper earlier on this season 3-0. I hope the players remember that

 

[Licha-Vidic]

 

[scorgasm]

 

[DJ_21]

Shaw at CB.

 

[United Hobbit]

Of course Rashy walks straight back into the starting line up

 

[AFC NimbleThumb]

I actually don’t hate that 11.

The return of LCB Shaw.

 

[Licha-Vidic]

 

[Ayoba]

No varane or Hojlund

 

[Plant0x84]

Dalot at LB

Put Varane in FFS!

 

[RuudTom83]

Not even on the bench?

Yup he's on the bench

Looks like EtH has gone with the same forward line as against Everton

 

[pauldyson1uk]

They will totally outplay us tonight. We'll lose by 3 goals.

That’s the spirit

 

[DJ_21]

Starting Dalot could be a mistake. When we’ve got an actual LB on the bench

 

[AFC NimbleThumb]

Of course Rashy walks straight back into the starting line up

Considering he wasn’t dropped but suspended, Hojlund is quite obviously unfit & Antony is fecking Antony I’m not sure why you’d be surprised.

 

[Licha-Vidic]

Good bench.. Hojlund lack of PL goals is showing in ETH selection.

 

[Rossa]

Varane injured?

 

[Shark]

Shaw at CB.

Alongside Maguire. This will be a complete shit show.

 

[dubplate warrior]

Don't really want to see Rashford in the team anymore.

 

[lysglimt]

It's kind of puzzling - the guy has spend £370 million on transfers - and not a single outfield-player is a Ten Hag-signing

Casemiro, Mount, Hojlund, Eriksen, Malacia, Evans and Martinez all injured and Amrabat, Reguilon and Antony not good enough to start

 

[dubplate warrior]

Alongside Maguire. This will be a complete shit show.

To be fair, every time I've seen him at CB he's been class.

 

[ti vu]

Alongside Maguire. This will be a complete shit show.

At least some recovery pace in the central of defense is helpful in certain situation.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Don’t like that line up.

Rather play Lindelof and play Shaw in proper position.

Also don’t think Rashfords done anything to merit coming straight back in. Rather play Garnacho and Pellistri/Antony wide.

Worried Martial doesn’t work and press too.

Not positive.

 

[edgecutter]

Best of luck to Manioo because he is going to get absoultely destroyed by Newcastle's midfield. McTominay is going to offer zero support.

 

[Bastian]

I wonder what percentage of fit Hojlund has been throughout this season. ETH desperately needs him but can't play him for 90 minutes and he still gets picked for Denmark.

Hopefully he can play the whole of the 2nd half.

 

[Rojofiam]

Dalot RCB?

Edit: It's Shaw and Maguire at CB I guess, my bad

 

[RaddyRed]

Dalot at left back never ends well.
