Newcastle (A) 8pm Monday 25th November (live on Sky)
We'll have Alvarez back but if he starts let's hope its not as part of a back three like he did against Forest.
Last time we visited St James' we went 3-1 up and still managed to lose 4-3.. Newcastle had to make four substitutions due to injury, Areola was subbed at half time with a groin, Anthony Gordon got a second yellow in injury time while Moyes and Howe also got booked.
A little less drama might be welcome!
Starting XI against us in March
Dubravka
Livramento Schar Lascelles Burn
Longstaff Guimares Willock
Murphy Isak Gordon
Since then not much has changed with no major departures over the summer and only a few arrivals.
So much for the Saudis splashing the cash!
Newcastle had a long injury list back in March and there are a lot of player unavailable this time. Callum Wilson, Sven Botman and Kieran Trippier are all injured again
Nick Pope, Joelinton and Matt Targett were injured back in March but are fit while Jacob Murphy was fit but is now injured.
Dan Burn is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow against Forest.
Jamaal Lascelles started last time but only lasted 15 minutes before he suffered an ACL and is still recovering. He was replaced by Emil Krafth who was replaced in the second half by 20yo LB Lewis Halls, on loan from Chelsea at the time but signed permanently in the summer
Alexander Isak scored two penalties last time, he has scored in all three games against us and has scored for five games in a row; four for Newcastle and one for Sweden). Sweden play Azerbaijan tomorrow so there's a very good chance he'll have scored in six consecutive games by the time we play
Harvey Barnes scored the other two in March after coming on in the second half to replace the injured Miguel Almiron 10 minutes after he'd replaced Livremento. Livramento has started the last four league games, Barnes has been on the bench for the last two games but scored against Forest after replacing Antony Gordon while Almiron was also on the bench
Sandro Tonali has returned from his betting ban and has been on the bench in recent matches but after an excellent performance in the second half against Forest he could be in contention for a start
Lloyd Kelly, signed on a free from Bournemouth, hasn't started in the league since 21 September but with Lascelles, Botman and Burns all unavailable he could be in the starting XI.
The only other summer signings of note are Danish U21 CF William Osula, £10m from Sheffield Utd and Greece's No1 Odysseas Vlachodimos signed from Forest for £20m but 3rd choice behind Pope and Dubravka
Starting XI vs Arsenal and Forest
