Just moments until kick-off in several important Premier League matches, each preceded by remembrance events.
Newcastle were horrible in their previous match against West Ham, as Eddie Howe just stated in his pre-match comments. “We must deliver a performance better. That day against West Ham was painful for the team. We trust, we’ve learned plenty. Now we have to begin earning results.”
On the winger: “He wasn’t fit enough ultimately. The scan revealed a minor issue with his hip which is an excellent opportunity for Harvey Barnes to come in.”
Still no Chris Wood from the Forest lineup, while the goalkeeper, the defender, Anderson and Dan Ndoye return.
Lukas Nmecha replaces the struggling Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who had difficulties against Brighton last week.
The young midfielder returns for Crystal Palace although there will be an absence of their captain in the squad. The Seagulls select an unchanged team which defeated Leeds in their last outing.
The Palace manager says that their defender “has a bone injury, he’s on support and is unable to even move freely. At the moment it looks like he can’t play for England next week either.”
The talented winger is carrying an injury and misses out from the Newcastle team, the replacement, who has been playing well, steps into the lineup.
One change in the Brentford side, the full-back is introduced.
Andoni Iraola enjoys the benefit of rotation, Evanilson, the defender, the winger and the midfielder each starting while Bafode Diakite, Alejandro Jimenez, David Brooks plus Junior Kroupi are the subs on the bench.
