Here’s how #NUFC Twitter reacted to the teams…

@LiamTFitzG – “Ah man, no Pickford to give us his customary gift of free goals.”

@LukeJH22 – “I’m glad to see Miggy start but we will definitely miss Jonjo sitting in midfield. I hope we give it a go and don’t just sit back and hope for a cheeky Murphy goal again.
