Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has a trio of injury doubts heading into the Saturday league fixture at Everton FC. Matt Targett (back), Alexander Isak (toe) and Kieran Trippier (other) were all left out of the squad that beat AFC Wimbledon in the League Cup. Of course, the lesser of the two cup competitions is almost always an opportunity for squad rotation, so adding … [Read more...] about Newcastle Team News at Everton: Matt Targett, Alexander Isak, Kieran Trippier

Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction at AFC Wimbledon (EFL Cup)
Newcastle United are going to old London town, most specifically Plough Lane (a venue that also has a corporate name too), to take on AFC Wimbledon. This third round League Cup affair is going to mark a very stark contrast between one ultra-rich club in Newcastle, who have a giant state-of-the-art corporate money-fueled home stadium, and some League Two (fourth tier in the … [Read more...] about Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction at AFC Wimbledon (EFL Cup)
Newcastle Team News at AFC Wimbledon: Matt Targett, Alexander Isak, Callum Wilson
Whenever you tie the juggernaut that is Manchester City, it has to feel like a win. And for Newcastle United, this weekend must have the victory vibes.

Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction at AFC Wimbledon
Newcastle United are headed to London town, specifically Plough Lane, to take on AFC Wimbledon in the EFL Cup's third round. It's going to be a fun contrast to see a big money club like Newcastle, who have a giant home stadium, take on the League Two (fourth tier) minnows in Wimbledon. And they'll do so at a ground that only seats about 9,000. … [Read more...] about Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction at AFC Wimbledon
Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction at AFC Bournemouth
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. The English full back just doesn't seem to be a part of the grand plan at St. James Park right now. 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
Newcastle Team News at AFC Bournemouth: Wilson, Tonali, Schar
Newcastle United entered this season with a lot less excitement and fanfare than a year ago. It's easy to understand why, as the injury-ravaged 2023-24 campaign left them mid-table and out of Europe entirely. The absentee list, which includes the likes of Callum Wilson, Sandro Tonali, Fabian Schar and more, is already plenty long. There are various reasons for that, which we … [Read more...] about Newcastle Team News at AFC Bournemouth: Wilson, Tonali, Schar
Newcastle Team News, Starting XI Prediction vs Stade Brestois
Back to backs? Yes, really! But at least it's just consecutive friendlies, and not competitive clashes on back to back days. 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)
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)
