After Newcastle’s FA Cup loss to Manchester City, they make only one change to their lineup: Tino Livramento replaces the injured Sven Botman. Jamaal Lascelles moves inward in response to this change, forming an alliance with Fabian Schar in center defense. Even though Kieran Trippier was photographed at St. James’ Park, his fitness is still an issue.
Simultaneously, West Ham makes only one alteration from their previous encounter with Aston Villa, substituting James Ward-Prowse for the suspended Edson Alvarez. The confirmed lineups are as follows:
Newcastle’s starting lineup: Dubravka, Schar, Livramento, Lascelles, Burn, Bruno, Willock, Murphy, Isak, Gordon
Areola, Coufal, Zouma, Mavropanos, Emerson, Soucek, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta, Bowen, Kudus, Antonio are the members of the West Ham XI.
