Newcastle United head to the south of France on Tuesday, aiming to extend their perfect run in the Champions League.
The Magpies have won their last three European matches consecutively, keeping clean sheets in all of them. A victory against Marseille would see them win four straight Champions League games for the first time in their history.
Eddie Howe’s side will be full of confidence after their 2-1 win over Manchester City at the weekend. However, they face a difficult task at the Vélodrome. Newcastle have won just one of their previous eight away games against French opposition in Europe. Breaking that trend against a high-scoring Marseille team will require a disciplined performance.
Newcastle United team news
Eddie Howe has confirmed that Dan Burn will return to the starting lineup, replacing Lewis Hall, who suffered cramp against Manchester City. In attack, Harvey Barnes is expected to retain his place on the left wing after his match-winning brace at the weekend. Anthony Gordon has returned from a groin injury but may start on the bench given Barnes’ form.
Meanwhile, Kieran Trippier remains unavailable with a knock, meaning Tino Livramento will likely continue at right-back. Midfielder Joelinton must be careful; a yellow card would see him suspended for the next match against Bayer Leverkusen.
Newcastle United predicted Lineup
Newcastle United predicted XI: Pope; Livramento, Botman, Thiaw, Burn; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Woltemade, Barnes
