Starting Saka on the right wing is a bold move.

This feels decidedly like an anticlimactic event after the Man City game.
Difficult to muster any enthusiasm about this.
Hopefully no injuries.

There is absolutely no way I believe he is back for this but let’s say he is, and he has had a few training sessions. You would feel comfortable with putting him in versus Newcastle of all teams after a long-term injury days before the team leaves for what will almost be a mini preseason where they can build fitness in a stable environment?
Even if he was back for this, I would prefer Nwaneri for this. Let the boy cook!
Go the same team as versus City but with Cala, Jorgi and Nwaneri in.

Hopefully we win but it's difficult there. We have not won away at Newcastle in the last 4 years.
Nwaneri to start. I'd love Partey to play as well but probably he needs resting. It's a big semi-final, we can't afford to leave out the centrebacks but they need a rest also

We beat them 2-0 in 2023.
I thought we beat them in the EPL by 2 goals away last season.

Partey is a tough one for this. He 100% needs a rest but given the scale of what we need to do I don’t see how you drop him.

Question is would you take a come back but with an injury to Partey?
I personally wouldn’t.

Last game before the break we are going all in 100%

Ask me a fortnight ago, I say no chance, now their form has dipped significantly and we’re on a high.
That said they’re desperate to win a trophy and are playing at their place, which will generate a huge atmosphere, so my feeling is we end up with a narrow win but they go through.
Or perhaps, Mikel does a Mikel and given our priorities, we rotate and lose. Don’t think that will happen though as we have a long break after this.
Completely missing this as I’ll be in Dublin at a conference and a dinner that night…
