Andros Townsend (£5.6m), who has been involved in eight goals in all competitions since his summer move, starts on the right, with Salomon Rondon (£6.0m) leading the line in the absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.0m) and Richarlison (£7.4m), who both miss out due to injury.

As for West Ham United, David Moyes makes just one change from Gameweek 7, with Ben Johnson (£3.9m) stepping in for Vladimir Coufal (£4.9m), who missed the international fixtures through injury.

    Look at all those Newcastle fans celebrating outside the stadium. Are they really that stupid? The takeover by this bully is the end of the beautiful game. It won't happen immediately, but the football we all love here will be dead over the next 5-10 years.
    It makes you sick.

        oh no this will be a completely new quality of "dying".
        we were at a point where football was being monetised. We are now at a point where football is becoming political pressure and a power game.
        If criminals are allowed into football, we are finished.
