Newcastle United face Yokohama FM at the Nissan Stadium in Tokyo on Saturday (11am kick-off UK time).

Eddie Howe’s side defeated Urawa Reds 4-1 on Wednesday with an early goal from Alexander Isak, a brace from Jacob Murphy and a late deflected Lewis Hall strike. Nick Pope saved a first-half penalty for the Magpies to keep his side level as Joe Willock, who was making his first appearance of pre-season, also impressed at the Saitama Stadium.

The Magpies face Yokohama on Saturday knowing they have just over two weeks to prepare for the visit of Southampton in their opening Premier League game of the season. Howe will have a pretty full squad to choose from with the players that went on international duty this summer potentially in-line to feature against Yokohama.

One of those players could be Bruno Guimaraes with Fabian Schar also someone that is yet to feature in pre-season for the Magpies. Here, we take a look at what side Howe could name for the clash against Yokohama FM:
