Newcastle United are back in Premier League action this weekend after a gruelling 90 minutes against PSG on Tuesday night.
Eddie Howe’s side were brilliant in Paris but were denied all three points by a late, late Kylian Mbappe penalty.
However, their return to domestic action offers an opportunity to leapfrog Manchester United in the Premier League table and strengthen their claims to finish in a European spot this season.
However, as has been the case for many matches in recent times, they will have to do this without a whole host of key players on Saturday.
Here, we take a look at the starting XI that Howe could name for the clash against Manchester United this weekend:

6. CM: Lewis Miley
Miley has put in stunning back-to-back performances and looks at home in the middle of the park. The teenager may be asked to go again this weekend with Sean Longstaff still a doubt. | Getty Images
7. CM: Bruno Guimaraes
Guimaraes was another standout performer in midweek and will be someone that Newcastle rely on against Manchester United to help control the midfield. | Getty Images
8. CM: Joelinton
Joelinton also opened his goalscoring account last weekend and will want to back that up with another solid shift this weekend. | Getty Images
