THE TEAM NEWS
NEWCASTLE
Eddie Howe has confirmed that Sweden international striker Alexander Isak ‘has a chance’ of facing Luton Town on Saturday afternoon after the attacker had to limp off in their 3-1 defeat of Aston Villa in midweek.
Howe also confirmed that forwards Harvey Barnes and Callum Wilson are a ‘little bit ahead of Joe Willock’ in terms of their recovery from injury but it remains unlikely that they will be involved this weekend.
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Dubravka; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Miley; Almiron, Isak, Gordon
UNAVAILABLE: Pope (Injured), Targett (Injured), Tonali (Suspended), Joelinton (Injured), Anderson (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Lascelles (Injured), Willock (Injured), Barnes (Injured), Isak (Injured), Wilson (Injured)
LUTON
Gabriel Osho managed to return to Luton’s first-team training in order to face Brighton in midweek and The Hatters are able to welcome back his fellow defender, Teden Mengi, who is also available after he missed that game.
As well as Mengi, Jacob Brown is expected to be involved at St James’ Park after he also missed the clash with Brighton due to injury. Right wing-back Issa Kabore is also available after Burkina Faso’s AFCON elimination.
PREDICTED XI (3-5-2): Kaminski; Osho, Mengi, Bell; Kabore, Barkley, Lokonga, Clark, Doughty; Adebayo, Morris
UNAVAILABLE: Lockyer (Illness), Andersen (Injured), Nakamba (Injured)

THE PREDICTION
We have two teams facing off on Saturday afternoon that have returned to form recently. Newcastle United’s impressive 3-1 defeat of Aston Villa at the weekend followed on from a 2-0 win at Fulham in the FA Cup. Luton Town come into this one on the back of a five-match unbeaten run of form across all competitions with just one defeat in their last eight games. The visitors will go to the north east knowing they are capable of bloodying the nose of their opposition and whilst Newcastle are favourites, it could be an entertaining encounter on Saturday afternoon.
TIP: NEWCASTLE TO WIN & BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
