Recent Squad Updates
The Magpies Coach Confesses Disappointing Display
Newcastle were dreadful last week against the Hammers, according to Eddie Howe recently admitted in his pre-match interview. “We have to produce something better. That day against the London club was difficult for the team. Hopefully, we’ve learnt plenty. Now we have to begin picking up results.”
On the winger: “He was not fit enough in the end. Medical imaging revealed a very slight issue with his hip and it’s a good chance for Harvey to come in.”
Forest Still Be Without Important Striker
Still no the experienced striker from the Forest lineup, as Matz Sels, the defender, Anderson plus the attacker are back.
Lukas Nmecha comes in for the goal-shy Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who had difficulties against Brighton in the previous round.
Crystal Palace Welcome Midfielder But Lose Defender
The young midfielder returns for Crystal Palace but they will have no Marc Guéhi for Crystal Palace. Brighton field an unchanged starting eleven which beat the Yorkshire side in their last outing.
Oliver Glasner says that Guéhi “is suffering from a bone injury, he requires support and he can’t so much as move freely. At the moment it appears he can’t feature with the national team in the upcoming matches either.”
Injury Setback Affects Newcastle with Gordon Sidelined
The talented winger is carrying a fitness issue so is absent for Newcastle, Jacob Murphy, that has been playing well, comes in.
One change in the Brentford side, Aaron Hickey comes in.
Squad Changes at Bournemouth as Villa Introduce Multiple Adjustments
