It is clear that Howe&#8217;s preferred lineup is not to be tampered with when possible; he was known by fans at Bournemouth to never change a winning team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch<\/strong>: Last Word on Football looks at the biggest problem with your Premier League club<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Biggest Problem with YOUR Premier League Club\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2GNhwMen_Qo?start=15&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Newcastle Injuries to Consider<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Howe revealed the latest injury news in a\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nufc.co.uk\/news\/latest-news\/howe-issues-injury-update-ahead-of-city-clash\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">press conference.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Joelinton picked up a thigh injury during the FA Cup win, and according to Howe: &#8220;will see him miss a minimum of six weeks.&#8221; The\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shieldsgazette.com\/sport\/football\/newcastle-united\/newcastle-united-derby-hero-v-sunderland-ruled-out-of-man-city-after-fresh-injury-blow-10-out-4471142\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;derby hero&#8221;<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0will be a big miss in midfield.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Following the Liverpool game, Howe\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj58-mw5tKDAxWlV0EAHYk0AroQFnoECDYQAQ&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.premierleague.com%2Fnews%2F3846460%23!&amp;usg=AOvVaw0u3b3vdqJBkbgl7cvAzb9x&amp;opi=89978449\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">confirmed<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0that Wilson is out for this fixture with a calf injury, and Trippier has a problem but should be back &#8220;pretty quickly.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/01\/09\/fabio-carvalho-liverpool-loan-hull-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Set To Lose \u2018Unbelievable\u2019 Youngster To Championship Club<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Elliot Anderson and Joe Willock have been out since October and November respectively, and are &#8220;not expected back anytime soon.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Harvey Barnes, Jacob Murphy, Javier Manquillo, Matt Targett, and Nick Pope have all been out for the long term, and Sandro Tonali is suspended for the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Newcastle Predicted Lineup<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">GK: Martin Dubravka<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">LB: Dan Burn<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">CB: Sven Botman<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">CB: Fabian Schar<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">RB: Kieran Trippier<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">CM: Lewis Miley<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">CM: Bruno Guimaraes<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">CM: Sean Longstaff<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">LW: Anthony Gordon<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ST: Alexander Isak<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">RW: Miguel Almiron<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newcastle United host Manchester City at St James\u2019 Park on January 13.
