My Prediction for Newcastle's Starting Eleven against Southampton

The Magpies Will Be Looking to Rebound

After finishing seventh last season, Newcastle United will be looking to make a strong start to the new Premier League campaign when they host Southampton on Saturday.

Predicted Lineup

I predict that Newcastle manager Eddie Howe will make a few changes to the team that started the opening match against Aston Villa last season.

Goalkeeper

• Nick Pope

Defense

• Kieran Trippier
• Fabian Schar
• Sven Botman
• Dan Burn

Midfield

• Bruno Guimaraes
• Joelinton
• Sean Longstaff

Attack

• Allan Saint-Maximin
• Callum Wilson
• Miguel Almiron

Injury Concerns

Joe Willock, who missed the match against Aston Villa due to an Achilles injury, may be fit enough to start against Southampton.

However, Alexander Isak, who joined Newcastle from Real Sociedad in the summer, is still recovering from a thigh injury and is unlikely to be involved.

Conclusion

Newcastle will be confident of getting a positive result against Southampton, who have lost their last two Premier League matches.

The Magpies have a strong squad and will be looking to make a statement in front of their home fans.
