Not especially easy to work out what formation we'll play with the XI named. 4-3-3 with Jan at left-back?
Or 4 2 3 1 with Son up front, lamela on the right, lucas on the left, Eriksen In the hole.
However, according to American TV which always comes out with confident but wrong predictions, it's a diamond with winks at the base, lamela at the top, lucas and son up front.... They also said vertonghen reverts back to the position we signed him in... Soooo

Newcastle team looks terrible imo. Half their players dont even seem to be of a pl quality. Is this the same 11 that beat city? If so im shocked.

Not sure about the benching of Llorente, suspect he’ll have been buzzing after his later winner in the week - hopefully he can make an impact off the bench!

Anyways, we should have enough to beat this lot, 3-0 for me. COYS!

Both their centre halves are good in the air, they're quite defensive and we've more chance of making a difference with Llorente if he's fresh and we're chasing the game perhaps.

Can't see them having as much spring in their step after an hour of chasing Son and Lucas about.

I think Poch knows that the Newcastle team isn't very good, so set-pieces are going to be important to them. Therefore, we've got all 3 of Verts, Toby and Sanchez in the side to help defend against corners and free-kicks.

Added to that, if we can pin Newcastle back into their own half and have a real go at their sub-standard defence, we should have too much for them. Therefore, 4 strong attacking players on the field, plus the rampaging Sissoko.

Thems me onions anyway...
