Eddie Howe makes one Newcastle United change after losing Joelinton

Howe’s fourth-placed side take on Southampton this afternoon knowing a win would take the club into third place.

And Howe, without the suspended Joelinton, has brought Jacob Murphy into his starting XI.

Allan Saint-Maximin – who made his comeback from injury last weekend – is on the bench.

NEWCASTLE UNITED: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Guimaraes, Longstaff, Willock, Almiron, Murphy, Wilson. Subs: Darlow, Lascelles, Shelvey, Saint-Maximin, Targett, Manquillo, Wood, Fraser, Anderson.
