"Clinching a first Premier League win away from St. James' Park as they stormed their way to an empathic 4-1 romp against Everton, Eddie Howe's men will be dreaming of a repeat performance here. Marking their return from November's international break with a 2-1 victory against Manchester City, the former Bournemouth boss has also seen his squad gain a reputation for their extended dominance on home soil. Including a 2-0 EFL Cup win against Tottenham on October 29th,"
"Enduring an injury nightmare since arriving from Brentford over the summer and still sidelined with a knee issue, Yoane Wissa is still waiting to make his Newcastle debut. Likewise, Howe's men are once again sweating over the fitness of Dutch international defender Sven Botman. Making a real impact since completing a summer switch from AC Milan and notching a brace away at Everton over the weekend, Malick Thiaw will start at the heart of Howe's defence."
Newcastle recovered from a midweek 2-1 Champions League loss at Marseille to rout Everton 4-1 away and maintain strong home form. Newcastle have won their last six matches at St. James' Park, including a 2-0 EFL Cup win over Tottenham, by an aggregate 13-2. Yoane Wissa remains sidelined with a knee injury and Sven Botman's fitness is in doubt. Malick Thiaw will start centrally after scoring twice at Everton, and Aaron Ramsdale is expected in goal with Nick Pope absent. Tottenham have slipped into a public struggle and recently fell to a 2-1 home defeat.
