In form Newcastle are likely to make a lot of changes to their starting lineup for their FA Cup Third Round tie at home against League Two Bromley, but we still expect Eddie Howe's side to win with relative ease.

The Magpies secured an impressive 2-0 victory in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final at the Emirates Stadium against the Gunners in midweek, continuing their excellent run of form.
Goals from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon put Newcastle into a commanding position despite Arsenal dominating the possession and creating a number of good goalscoring opportunities for themselves.
Joseph Willock, Callum Wilson, Emil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles, Nick Pope, Alexander Isak and Sven Botman are all expected to miss out this weekend due to injury.

Bromley preview: Lost heavily last time out
Bromley's decent run of form came to an abrupt end when they made the trip to Mornflake Stadium to face Crewe last time out.
The visitors went in at the break 3-1 down with their goal arriving in the form of a 36th-minute penalty from Michael Cheek but Bromley conceded another goal in the second half to lose the game 4-1.
That result sees Bromley sitting 12th in the League Two table and looking set for a mid-table finish this season.
Predicted lineup: Smith (GK), Reynolds, Sowunmi, Odutayo, Grant, Imray, Thompson, Arthurs, Dennis, Cheek & Whitely

Player to watch: Harvey Barnes
Harvey Barnes hasn't been given a lot of starts for Newcastle this season but we are expecting the squad player to get his chance to impress from the start this weekend.
Despite not starting many games, Barnes has impressed for Eddie Howe's side this season. The former Leicester City winger has scored five goals in the Premier League which makes him Newcastle's second-top scorer alongside Anthony Gordon.
Barnes will be looking to take any chance he gets to impress
We can see Barnes using his creativity and ability to get into goalscoring positions to help guide Newcastle into the next round of the FA Cup.
