Only minutes before the start in four crucial Premier League matches, each beginning with remembrance events.
The Tyneside club performed dreadful in their previous match versus West Ham, as their manager just stated in his pre-match comments. “We must deliver something better. The match against West Ham proved difficult for the team. Hopefully, we’ve learnt a lot. Now we have to start earning results.”
Regarding the winger: “He wasn’t close in the end. The scan showed a very slight issue with his hip and it’s a good opportunity for Harvey Barnes to come in.”
Still no Chris Wood from the Forest lineup, as the goalkeeper, Murillo, the midfielder and Dan Ndoye return.
Lukas Nmecha replaces the goal-shy Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who had difficulties at Brighton in the previous round.
The young midfielder is back for Crystal Palace but they will have no Marc Guéhi for Crystal Palace. Brighton select the same team that defeated the Yorkshire side in their last outing.
The Palace manager says regarding their defender “is suffering from a bone bruise, he’s on crutches and he can’t even walk. Currently it appears he can’t play for England next week either.”
Anthony Gordon has an injury so is absent from the Newcastle team, the replacement, who has performed strongly, steps into the lineup.
