Steve Bruce has named his XI to face Manchester City in the quarter-final of the FA Cup at St James’s Park and Newcastle United fans are all saying the same thing.

Newcastle are just 90 minutes from the semi-final of the competition but they will face City with a change in goal, Karl Darlow replacing Martin Dubravka between the posts.

Darlow has played the previous rounds of the competition and Bruce keeps faith with the keeper but it left some fans frustrated.

Andy Carroll starts up front.

NUFC subs: Dúbravka, Shelvey, Joelinton, Gayle, Muto, Krafth, Yedlin, Lazaro, M.Longstaff.

@JoeRobson__ “He’s played every cup game this season and we are unbeaten, don’t understand what the problem is Bruce has kept us up”

@toon_teddy_bear: “He's played in the cup games so far he deserves his place”

@Kevin_Nichol: “I don’t understand people calling him. He’s a decent keeper. He’s played all the cup games. Bravo is starting instead of Ederson in exactly the same situation. I’ve got no problem with it at all personally #nufc”
