Newcastle United travel to the Parc des Princes on Wednesday while they seek to secure an automatic spot in the Champions League Round of 16.
The Magpies have moved into seventh place in the league phase table. Manager Eddie Howe faces a difficult task against the reigning European champions. Newcastle require a victory to guarantee bypassing the February play-off round. While their recent European form has been impressive, a mounting injury list threatens their defensive stability. A positive result tonight would mark a historic milestone for the Tyneside club.
Newcastle Team News
Eddie Howe manages a squad currently reeling from a series of defensive setbacks. Notably, Joelinton is unavailable after sustaining a groin injury against Aston Villa. He joins long-term absentees Tino Livramento and Sven Botman on the sidelines. Consequently, the manager must rely on his senior leaders to steady the ship in Paris. Bruno Guimarães faces a late fitness test on a troublesome ankle.
Nick Pope will start in goal as he chases his fifth clean sheet. In defence, Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn will provide vital experience against a potent PSG attack. Sandro Tonali is expected to anchor the midfield alongside the youthful Lewis Miley. Up front, Anthony Gordon remains the primary threat on the counter-attack. Yoane Wissa is likely to lead the line as the Magpies search for a clinical edge.
Newcastle Predicted Lineup
Newcastle predicted XI: Pope; Trippier, Burn, Botman, Hall; Miley, Tonali, Joelinton; Barnes, Wissa, Gordon
