What happened: Matthias Jaissle heads into Newcastle United's scheduled match with a thinner squad after Leeds United exposed the side's lack of balance. Lukas Hornicek remains the leading goalkeeping option, while Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar and Lewis Miley are among the key selection decisions.

Why it matters: The selection matters because Newcastle United needs a cleaner buildup and more control in midfield after its last outing. With several regular options unavailable, the next lineup will show how much trust Jaissle places in younger depth and returning defenders.

What to watch: Watch whether Livramento returns at right-back and whether Schar is used to steady possession from the back. The official lineup will also show how Newcastle United reshapes midfield around Miley and Sean Steur.
