"Some pre-match reading. Courtesy of Louise Taylor in Brussels. Share Newcastle make two changes to the starting XI sent out to face Arsenal in the 2-1 Premier League defeat at St James' Park last Sunday. Kieran Trippier and Anthony Elanga replace Tino Livramento and Jacob Murphy. The latter drops to the bench, but Livramento could be out for six to eight weeks after suffering a knee injury against the Gunners."
"Union Saint-Gilloise: Scherpen, Mac Allister, Burgess, Leysen, Khalaili, Zorgane, Van De Perre, Niang, Ait El Hadj, Rodriguez, David. Subs: Chambaere, Berradi, Patris, Sykes, Boufal, Giger, Schoofs, Smith, Rasmussen, Barry. Newcastle United: Pope, Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Burn, Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton, Elanga, Woltemade, Gordon. Subs: Thompson, Ramsdale, Hall, Schar, Barnes, Krafth, Osula, Jacob Murphy, Willock, Alex Murphy, Miley. Referee: Urs Schnyder (Switzerland)."
"Union Saint-Gilloise have only hosted English opposition once before. And if you're a Newcastle fan relying on historical precedent to do you a favour this evening, you're out of luck: USG beat Liverpool 2-1 in the Europa League groups in December 2023. To be fair to Jurgen Klopp's side, it was a dead rubber in which they fielded several of the kids, but a win's a win. So there is that to contend with."
