In midfield, fans have gone for that strong international trio of Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton, with Sean Longstaff and Joe Willock ready to make an impact from the bench. Isak's absence means Anthony Gordon will lead the line on his return to Everton, with Jacob Murphy and Harvery Barnes on the flanks.

With both Isak and Wilson unavailable, Anthony Gordon is set to continue his spell as an emergency striker for Howe. He started in a central role against Man City last Saturday, winning and converting a penalty that earned Newcastle a hard-fought point at home.

The result, in many people’s eyes, is viewed as one of the team’s best performances under Eddie Howe and arguably Newcastle’s most famous European night of the 21st century. It saw local lads Sean Longstaff and Dan Burn getting amongst the goals alongside Miguel Almiron and Fabian Schar.
