Newcastle United return to St James’ Park on Saturday, September 5, for a Premier League meeting with Bournemouth after winning 2-0 at Tottenham. The Newcastle Predicted Lineup points to continuity, with Jaissle likely to retain the 4-2-3-1 system that worked in north London.
Lukáš Horníček should continue in goal after producing several important saves against Spurs. In front of him, Amar Dedić, Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman and Lewis Hall should form the back four. That unit kept Tottenham scoreless and could start together again, giving Newcastle a settled platform.
Newcastle Predicted Lineup and Midfield
Nico González should keep his place beside Lewis Miley in the double pivot. González impressed on his first league appearance for Newcastle, while Miley offers energy, passing and discipline from a deeper position. Joe Willock can operate between the lines again, where his movement gives the front three another route into dangerous areas.
Anthony Elanga and Harvey Barnes should occupy the wide attacking roles. Elanga opened the scoring against Tottenham after González released Dedić with a sharp diagonal ball, while Barnes provides a different threat with his ability to cut inside and attack the box. Both should have licence to switch positions during Newcastle’s attacking phases.
Yoane Wissa remains the obvious choice at centre-forward after scoring Newcastle’s second goal at Tottenham. His movement has already caused defenders problems, and his quick finishing gives Jaissle a natural focal point. Nick Woltemade supplied the assist for Wissa after coming off the bench, so his impact could again arrive later.
Newcastle have taken four points from their opening two Premier League matches, drawing 2-2 with Liverpool before beating Tottenham 2-0. They face Bournemouth at St James’ Park after the visitors drew 1-1 against Everton. The Magpies have scored four league goals so far.
There is uncertainty behind that expected XI, though. Valentino Livramento and Joelinton were closing in on returns from calf and thigh problems before this fixture, yet neither player looks likely to dislodge a starter unless Jaissle receives a late fitness update. That matters because Newcastle have a League Cup trip to Millwall three days later, which could influence his bench choices and substitutions.
The main selection question centres on whether Jaissle changes a winning XI. Current predictions favour no major alteration, with Gonzalez, Miley, Willock, Elanga, Barnes and Wissa retaining their places. That makes the Newcastle Predicted Lineup fairly clear, barring a late fitness development before Saturday’s 12:30 pm BST kick-off.
Newcastle United (4-2-3-1): Lukás Hornícek – Amar Dedic, Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman, Lewis Hall – Nico González, Lewis Miley – Anthony Elanga, Joseph Willock, Harvey Barnes – Yoane Wissa.
