Norwich vs Newcastle: Key battles

Newcastle travel to Carrow Road on Saturday in their second Premier League game of the season.

The newly-promoted side will present a few difficult challenges for Steve Bruce’s men, but they’ll be confident about their chances as they prepare to make the trip to Carrow Road.

Daniel Farke’s men earned plenty of plaudits for their style of play in the Championship and they look set to continue that in the Premier League.

They got off to the worst possible start with a heavy defeat at Anfield last week, but there were a few positive signs for Farke to take from the game.

With the Magpies also falling to a defeat at home to Arsenal, this meeting will give both sets of supporters a much better idea of where their respective teams are at.

Ahead of Saturday’s game, we’ve taken a look at both squads and identified a few of the key battles that could decide the game.
