The confirmed Newcastle team against Marseille has now been announced.
Eddie Howe’s side return to Champions League action.
Before this fifth round, Newcastle United is in sixth place in the Champions League rankings of a total of 36 clubs.
Last season, 12 points guaranteed a place in the play-offs, while 16 points ensured a top eight finish and automatic progression to the last 16 knockout stages.
If United can win again tonight and reach twelve points from a possible fifteen, with three games to play, they will obviously be in an incredibly strong position.
After the performance, Eddie Howe and his players must go into this match with confidence and win against Manchester City next weekend.
Although Newcastle have no away wins in the Premier League so far after six games on the road, they defeated Union SG 4-0 in their only away Champions League match so far this season.
Newcastle team in Marseille:
Pope, Livramento, Thiaw, Schar, Burn, Willock, Bruno, Tonali, Barnes, Gordon, Murphy
So three changes to the eleven that started against Manchester City
IN:
Burn, Willock, Gordon
OUT:
Hall, Joelinton Wotemade
subtitles:
Thompson, Ramsdale, Hall, Botman, Joelinton, Elanga, Woltemade, Alex Murphy, Ramsey, Miley, Alabi
Nice to see that all three who started on Saturday but are not in the first eleven tonight are all on the bench and are not injured.
Exciting midfielder, 16-year-old Sam Alabi, is also named on the bench.
