Newcastle United Predicted XI: Hibernian (Pre-season)

Newcastle United play their penultimate pre-season friendly on Tuesday night when they face Hibernian. 

The Magpies head to Scotland on the back of a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Preston North End on Sunday afternoon, with Steve Bruce hoping to inspire his men to gather some winning momentum. 

With the manager having only just got through the door at St James’ Park, it is likely that he will be open to experimentation, so fringe players could be handed chances to impress when Newcastle lock horns with Hibernian. 

The odds are stacked against the Magpies ahead of the upcoming 2019/20 campaign, but Bruce will hope that his side can display some confidence as the opening fixture against Arsenal in the Premier League draws nearer. 

Joelinton could be handed his first start following his big-money move from Hoffenheim, having made a substitute appearance against Preston. 

Take a look at how we predict Newcastle could line up when they face the Scottish Premiership outfit on Tuesday.
