Newcastle Predicted XI: Huddersfield (H)

Newcastle will be hoping to get back to winning ways as they host Huddersfield Town on Saturday.

United were cruelly denied an impressive 1-0 win at Wolves last time out after the hosts equalised in the 95th minute.

That made it two games in succession that Newcastle let in a preventable late goal, the first denied them a point at Wembley and the second cost them two at Molineux.

However, in the Magpies’ last home game, they stunned title chasing Manchester City with a 2-1 win.

Saturday’s fixture will be slightly different with Rafa Benitez’s side being firm favourites as opposed to the underdogs like they have been in each of their last three games.

Their opponents sit rooted to the bottom of the table having picked up just 11 points from their 26 games so far this season.

Benitez has a positive selection dilemma to make with new and returning players in the frame to feature.

Only Rob Elliot misses out while Jonjo Shelvey remains a doubt in a near fully-fit squad.

Here is how we predict Newcastle to line up against Huddersfield.
