Newcastle United will travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in the League Cup Round of 16 on Wednesday (1 November).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Magpies took down Manchester City 1-0<\/a> in the third round of the competition earlier this season, Football Insider<\/strong> has predicted Eddie Howe’s starting lineup to face Erik ten Hag’s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Howe has had little luck with draws in the League Cup so may rely on first-choice shot-stopper Nick Pope against tough opposition, while rotation centre-backs Fabian Schar and Paul Dummett could come in after impressing against City in the earlier round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Newcastle\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tino Livramento has been starved of starts this season but helped his team to keep a clean sheet against Pep Guardiola’s side in the third round and could get the nod at right-back ahead of skipper Kieran Trippier, who started against Wolves on Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midfield<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A strong midfield will be needed despite Man United’s struggles, meaning Bruno Guimaraes could remain in the starting line-up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With three goal contributions in all competitions this season, including an assist in Newcastle’s Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain, the Brazilian’s midfield influence may be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either side of him could be Joelinton and Sean Longstaff, the latter of which has started the Magpies’ last six Premier League games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Attack<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up top and Howe will need firepower. With Alexander Isak still sidelined, Callum Wilson may be reluctantly started by his manager after playing the full 90 minutes in Newcastle’s disappointing 2-2 draw against Wolves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Willock and Lewis Hall may earn rare starts in the boss’s attempts to manage his injury list. Willock has recently returned from a hamstring injury, but Howe may want to test the 24-year-old with his first start of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other news, the door has opened for Newcastle United to agree to a Kalvin Phillips loan deal with Man City.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
