Newcastle go into the match on the back of a 1-0 win at home to Brentford last time out in the Premier League and a 0-0 draw at AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night. The Magpies’ training time over the past week has been limited with a number of changes expected for the trip to Bramall Lane.
Eddie Howe has several players ruled out for the match including Joe Willock, Joelinton and Emil Krafth while goalkeeper Martin Dubravka recovers from illness.
The Newcastle team news will land at 3:30pm as they look to pick up their first away win of the 2023-24 season.
Here is our predicted line-up for the match...
5. LB: Dan Burn
Two clean sheets in a row means Howe will likely opt for the same defensive unit that has served him so well over the last year or so - and that includes Burn at left-back. | Getty Images
6. CM: Sean Longstaff
Although the midfield three have lacked a little cohesion this season, it’s clear that they are more solid as a unit when Longstaff is in the team. | Getty Images
7. CM: Bruno Guimaraes
Guimaraes reminded everyone of his quality in midweek. The Brazilian was superb in the middle of the park and helped to keep things moving for Newcastle - something that will be needed of him on Sunday. | Getty Images
