In a tactical move, Eddie Howe rotated Lewis Hall and Lloyd Kelly at left-back, while Emil Krafth stepped into the role to replace the suspended Fabian Schar. These were the only two changes made by the Newcastle manager last weekend.
The Magpies have made a promising start to the season, remaining unbeaten with a home win against Southampton and a draw at Bournemouth. Their strong performance follows a successful pre-season where they suffered just one defeat.
Despite their domestic success, Newcastle has historically struggled on the road. In the previous season, they lost 11 away matches in the Premier League, putting them in the bottom three for that statistic. However, they managed to secure an impressive 3-0 victory over Manchester United in the EFL Cup at Old Trafford.
