Almirón makes full debut for Newcastle in Gameweek 27

Newcastle United’s record signing Miguel Almirón (£6.0m) is set for his full Premier League debut this afternoon.

The Paraguayan international started his Magpies career off with a substitute’s appearance against Wolves in Gameweek 26 but is in the starting line-up to face Huddersfield.

Despite adding some much-needed pace to his side, Rafa Benitez continues with a back-five featuring Matt Ritchie (£5.8m) in a left wing-back role.

Jan Siewert’s Huddersfield side are led by Laurent Depoitre (£5.1m), while budget midfielder Jason Puncheon (£4.2m) starts on the right flank of attacking midfield.

Diogo Jota (£6.1m) owners will be happy to see him still in the Wolves starting XI after recent fitness issues.

Matt Doherty (£5.4m), who recently had a yellow flag of his own to contend with, is also in the starting line-up for Nuno Espirito Santo’s men.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth continue to struggle for injuries, with Dominic Solanke (£4.7m) handed his second start for the club up front.

Josh King (£6.4m) and Ryan Fraser (£6.1m) also start while there is a full Premier League debut at centre-back for Chris Mepham (£4.5m).

Bournemouth XI: Boruc; Clyne, Mepham, Aké, Smith; Ibe, Gosling, Lerma, Fraser; King; Solanke.

Wolves XI: Rui Patrício; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Dendoncker, Rúben Neves, João Moutinho, Jonny; Jiménez, Diogo Jota.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Yedlin, Schär, Lascelles, Lejeune, Ritchie; Ayoze Pérez, Hayden, Longstaff, Almirón; Rondón.

Huddersfield XI: Lössl; Smith, Zanka, Schindler, Löwe; Mooy, Hogg, Bacuna; Kachunga, Depoitre, Puncheon.
