Newcastle Team News at Luton Town: Isak, Gordon, Schar, Krafth, Joelinton
If Newcastle United ask Santa Claus for anything this Christmas, it should be a much more fit squad. These days, you could do two injury report articles for every Newcastle match: one on the progress of the long-term injury absentees, and another Team News piece on the short-term injury issues. We'll do that, and just that, here starting with forward Alexander Isak. He has a … [Read more...] about Newcastle Team News at Luton Town: Isak, Gordon, Schar, Krafth, Joelinton
Newcastle United Starting 11 Prediction vs Fulham FC
As we approach the festive period, Newcastle United are not in a very good place right now. Losers of three of their past five, the only time they have looked dominant lately was when they thrashed Manchester United, a club in greater crisis than they are. Up next is a visit from Fulham FC, and this is a match that feels more like a plain old mid-table affair than it does the … [Read more...] about Newcastle United Starting 11 Prediction vs Fulham FC
Newcastle vs Fulham Team News: Gordon, Trippier, Willian, Diop
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe won't blame his side's recent slide on their injury crisis, but it is certainly one of the primary culprits.

Nick Pope Suffers Shoulder Injury, Worsening Newcastle Fitness Crisis
The last thing Newcastle United needs right now is another serious injury, but that's exactly what they got today in their 1-0 win over Manchester United.

Newcastle United Team News vs Chelsea: Almiron, Isak, Wilson
While there is certainly an injury crisis going on at Newcastle United right now, at least it didn't get worse over the international break (which is more than we can say for several other clubs). Of course, at the same time, it also didn't get much better. Miguel Almiron and Alexander Isak are both expected to be back this week and passed match fit for the big clash with … [Read more...] about Newcastle United Team News vs Chelsea: Almiron, Isak, Wilson
Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction vs Arsenal
Football is obviously a very emotional game, and this weekend's headliner fixture in the Premier League, Arsenal FC at Newcastle United, features two sides that will enter this match at polar opposite ends of the emotional spectrum. That's because their results last night in the EFL Cup Round of 16 went about as polar opposite as possible. … [Read more...] about Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction vs Arsenal
Newcastle Team News vs Arsenal: Targett, Barnes, Tonali, Isak
Newcastle United have a very long injury list, and they added another name to it yesterday in Matt Targett. The English left back exited the 3-0 win at Manchester United, in the EFL Cup round of 16, after just five minutes, due to a hamstring injury. So he's a strong doubt at best, but likely just plain unavailable versus Arsenal on Saturday. He joins a large group of … [Read more...] about Newcastle Team News vs Arsenal: Targett, Barnes, Tonali, Isak
