Here’s how you reacted to the news...

@andrew14ad – “Can’t play Bentaleb and hope he gets fit as the games go by when you have a tried and tested midfielder in Longstaff and Hayden. #nufc this is a nonsense with Bruce. Lets see how deep he will be in possession, shall we..”

@ScottDaley26 – “This battle between two abysmal sides, promises to be a thriller. Hopefully we can come out on top.”

@SteveMcKenna_ – “Bentaleb is a bit lucky to keep his place. Had a shocker v Arsenal. Not sure what Hayden has done wrong.”

@Clinton_Forde – “Unchanged? After we got spanked 4-0? C'mon Bruh!”

@geordieleighs – “Definition of madness doing the same thing over and over and still getting the same results. Steve Bruce with his team selection.”
