Newcastle Starting XI Prediction at Nottingham Forest (EFL Cup 2nd Rd)

By

Although the season is still young, Newcastle United have played uninspiring ball thus far. They haven't been awful, not by any means, but they haven't been great either. Maybe the start of a different competition will change their fortunes? Newcastle travels to Nottingham Forest for one of the just two all-top flight ties in the second round of the EFL Cup. West Ham United … [Read more...] about Newcastle Starting XI Prediction at Nottingham Forest (EFL Cup 2nd Rd)

Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction at AFC Bournemouth

By

Kieran Trippier is making a lot of the "players who will/should/could leave their teams before the summer transfer window ends" lists. It's easy to understand why.

Newcastle United could use him, as well as any other defender, or even their defensive midfielders for that matter, … [Read more...] about Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction at AFC Bournemouth

There are various reasons for that, which we … [Read more...] about Newcastle Team News at AFC Bournemouth: Wilson, Tonali, Schar

Late afternoon Saturday sees Stade Brestois come to St. James Park, with Newcastle United having welcomed in Girona FC later on tonight (go here for the preview of Friday's match). Feels really weird to preview a match while the previous contest still … [Read more...] about Newcastle Team News, Starting XI Prediction vs Stade Brestois

Newcastle Starting XI Prediction vs A-League All-Stars (Friendly)

By

Newcastle United emerged unscathed from injury, in their win over Tottenham on penalties, in a friendly down under. Now comes the second of two exhibition matches in Australia, this time in the A-League All-Star game. No European opponent has ever lost the A-League All-Star game, and although this just a showcase clash, the Geordies still want to make sure they don't become the … [Read more...] about Newcastle Starting XI Prediction vs A-League All-Stars (Friendly)
