Newcastle maintained their unbeaten run with a draw away to Arsen🧔al on Tuesd🥂ay night.
It is now the turn of the FA Cup, with the Magpies on the road against Sheffield Wedne🎉sday on Saturday evening. Jonjo She💛lvey, Matt Targett, Emil Krafth, Paul Dummett and Alexander Isak are all out for the visitors.
Sheffield Wednesday enter this match on a nine-game unbeaten streak of their own. They sit second in Leagueဣ One, four points behind Ply🍎mouth Argyle.
Win To Nil: Newcastle
Owners of the Premier League’s best defence and with a string🦹 of♑ clean sheets since the World Cup, Newcastle should be able to keep a League One attack quiet for 90 minutes on Saturday night.
The atmosphere ꦍwill 🦩be a factor, and Sheffield Wednesday enter this game in good form, but the Magpies have been exceptional this season.
Look for Eddie Howe’s team to win this 🌠at a ca🎶nter.
Anytime Goalscorer: Chris Wood
With Hꦕowe likely to protect Callum Wilson for the League Cup tie against Leicester next♒ week, Chris Wood is expected to get the start up top for the visitors. Wood’s physicality is an asset in what could be a bruising tie.
Despite starting just six times this season, Wood has three goalꦦs to his name, including a strike away to Leicester on Boxing Day.
Wood isn’t the most glamorous player in this Newcastle squad, 🐎but the former Burnley man has a key role to play here.
Total Cards: Over 2.5
Sheffield We▨dnesday have been relatively disciplined in the day-to-day of League One action.
They still rank around mid-table in tackles and fouls per match, however, and they will be put under far greateܫr pressure than usual against this Newcastle side.
The Magpies, too, are unafraid of a challenge and will compete hard in this game unlike some Premier League sides w🍬hen they face weaker opposition.
This is good value on three or more cards.
