Sheffield United vs Newcastle Lineups and Last Match
Sheff Utd
The Blades put in a decent performance last weekend at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but ended up slipping to a late defeat. Following a goalless first half, Hamer fired the visitors in front in the 73rd minute after good work from Robinson who claimed an assist. The Blades looked like they might hold on for a victory until deep into stoppage-time when they conceded two goals and ended up losing the match and to add insult to injury, McBurnie was sent-off in the 114th minute. Lowe, Osborn, Fleck, Brewster, Norrington-Davies, Baldock, Egan, McBurnie (suspended) and Jebbison will all miss this weekend's clash.
Predicted Lineup – Foderingham (GK), Basham, Robinson, Ahmedhodžić, Bogle, Thomas, Hamer, Souza, McAtee, Norwood & Archer
Newcastle
Newcastle weren't at their very best, and haven't been so far this season, but Howe managed to get his side back to winning ways against Brentford last time out. A solitary second-half penalty from Wilson proved enough to decide the destination of all 3pts but Newcastle have to find flow soon or they risk dropping off the pace for the European places, even this early on in the season. Willock and Krafth are the two main injury concerns for the visitors this weekend, while Joelinton could make his return following a knee injury.
Predicted Lineup – Pope (GK), Trippier, Schär, Burn, Botman, Guimarães, Anderson, Longstaff, Barnes, Wilson & Gordon

Player to Watch: Sandro Tonali
Newcastle will want to see more from their big summer signing this weekend, for a game that will likely be decided by who wins the midfield battle.
Sheff Utd tend to play with five in midfield, suffocating their opponents as they try to build up attacks. Tonali is a playmaker, someone who doesn't mind taking his time on the ball and enjoys a patient build-up. Newcastle might find they don't get as much time on the ball this weekend and Tonali will have to make the most of any space he can find.
We're backing Tonali to control the pace of Sunday's match and help guide Newcastle to their third league win of the campaign.
