Newcastle reached the final of this competition last season and may view it as one of trophies they are more likely to win, so it’ll be interesting to see how strong a side they field and how much they want it.
Not sure what sort of a team Newcastle will put out.
Although they have Burnley at the weekend, they have PSG in champions league the following week.
They may not put out a very strong team either
YesIs Rodri banned for this match ?
My guess is Dubravka, Livramento, Hall, Lascelles, Botman, Tonali, Longstaff, Anderson, Murphy, Isak, Almiron but I could be miles away with that.
From your team I wouldn’t risk Akanji, Gvardiol, Foden, Haaland or Doku____________Ortega___________

I should have added that I expect your fans can drink in virtually any pub in town without hiding your colours and there will be no trouble, nothing worse than a bit of taking the piss out of each other. It can be a bit different after the match as we seem in attract all of the local pricks who have never been to a match in their lives but the police will soon scatter them. Drinking in town after the match should also be fine.
Respect the town and there's probably nowhere better to go as an away fan and we're proud of that. You’re more likely to get a drink bought for you than have a fight unless you start a one which isn’t very clever.
Turn up, go for a beer and food, go and enjoy the game and then either go for another drink or go home after the game. We've got more in common with each others clubs than we have differences other than recent and current history and current squad depths but we're trying.
