Newcastle United XI vs PSG – Predicted lineup and team news

Newcastle require a victory to guarantee bypassing the February play-off round. While their recent European form has been impressive, a mounting injury list threatens their defensive stability.

Eddie Howe manages a squad currently reeling from a series of defensive setbacks. Notably, Joelinton is unavailable after sustaining a groin injury against Aston Villa. He joins long-term absentees Tino Livramento and Sven Botman on the sidelines. Consequently, the manager must rely on his senior leaders to steady the ship in Paris. Bruno Guimarães faces a late fitness test on a troublesome ankle.

Nick Pope will start in goal as he chases his fifth clean sheet. In defence, Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn will provide vital experience against a potent PSG attack. Sandro Tonali is expected to anchor the midfield alongside the youthful Lewis Miley. Up front, Anthony Gordon remains the primary threat on the counter-attack. Yoane Wissa is likely to lead the line as the Magpies search for a clinical edge.
