RB – Takehiro Tomiyasu

Tomiyasu

Ben White was substituted on the hour mark versus Brighton, which suggests he may have picked up a knock or he was simply being rested with the Newcastle game in mind.


Tomiyasu is a solid enough replacement if he is needed for the Magpies fixture, and he could be tasked with keeping the likes of Joelinton or Allan Saint-Maximin quiet, so he may be the better choice anyway, even if White is fit.
