Recent Squad Updates
Newcastle Coach Admits Poor Display
Newcastle performed dreadful in their previous match against the Hammers, according to their manager recently admitted in his pre-match interview. “We have to produce a performance different. That day with West Ham was painful for the team. We trust, we have learned a lot. At this point we need to begin earning results.”
On Anthony Gordon: “He wasn’t fit enough in the end. The scan revealed a minor problem in his hip and it’s an excellent chance for Harvey Barnes to step up.”
Forest Still Miss Key Forward
Still no Chris Wood from the Forest lineup, while Matz Sels, Murillo, Anderson and the attacker are back.
The German forward comes in for the goal-shy Dominic Calvert-Lewin, that had difficulties at Brighton in the previous round.
The Eagles See Return of Midfielder However Miss Defender
The young midfielder is back in the Palace lineup although they will have no Marc Guéhi in the squad. Brighton select an unchanged starting eleven which defeated Leeds in their last outing.

A single alteration in the Brentford side, the full-back comes in.
