Just five days after their clash with AC Milan at the San Siro, Newcastle United are back in Premier League action when they face Paul Heckingbottom’s Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.
The Magpies defeated Brentford last time out in the league and will be hoping to make it back-to-back league victories on Sunday evening.

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
