READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT
Should Gayle start on Sunday?
If fit enough, yes. The forward could be the perfect foil for Joelinton up front, alleviating the issues of the Brazilian cutting an isolated figure so far this season.
Joelinton has endured a dearth of support in the final third in the Premier League, with Miguel Almiron struggling for form himself. The introduction of Gayle into the side, with his runs in behind and clinical finishing, could be just the change Newcastle need to ignite their attacking spark.
