Newcastle’s summer has been a turbulent one. There have been changes in both the boardroom and the head office, alongside speculation that head coach Eddie Howe may leave his post to take up the job of England manager. This has all led to a feeling of instability on Tyneside. The one area where there hasn’t been much change is on the pitch, Newcastle have technically made five new signings, but aside from converting Lewis Hall’s loan to a permanent move, none of the new faces are expected to offer much more than depth. Expect a familiar lineup in this match.
Meanwhile, for Southampton, the long trek up North to St James’ Park will be very welcome as the club make their return to the Premier League following a season in the Championship. Under the guidance of Russell Martin, the Saints clinched promotion in the playoff final against Leeds, and have spent the summer spending big money on many of the previous on-loan players who got them back up including Taylor Harwood-Bellis from Man City and Flynn Downes from West Ham.
Here's how they line up:
Newcastle: Pope, Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall, Bruno, Joelinton, Longstaff, Murphy, Isak, Gordon.
Southampton: McCarthy, Aribo, Walker-Peters, Downes, Harwood-Bellis, Stephens, Armstrong, Smallbone, Bednarek, Brereton, Sugawara.
Newcastle aims to return to the upper echelons of the table this year after a frustrating injury-blighted campaign last season, while Southampton will look to stabilize back in the top flight. To this end, both teams will be desperate to kick off the 24/25 Premier League season with a win.
