Premier League: Willock Starts For Newcastle As Eddie Howe Returns To Dugout
Joe Willock: Joe Willock starts for Newcastle United for Saturday's Premier League clash against Ipswich Town, with head coach Eddie Howe returning to the dugout at St James' Park. The Magpies host the Tractor Boys, targeting a fifth consecutive league win on home soil, and Howe has made one change from the side which suffered a 4-1 away defeat to Aston Villa last weekend as Joe Willock replaces Joelinton, who is missing from Saturday's encounter with a knee injury.
Nick Pope, who began his career at Ipswich's Academy, continues in between the sticks behind a four-man defence involving Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schär, Dan Burn, and Tino Livramento.
Bruno Guimaraes, who will make his 150th appearance for the Magpies this afternoon, is situated in the middle of the park alongside Sandro Tonali and Willock while Jacob Murphy, on target in United's 4-0 away win against Ipswich in December, and Harvey Barnes will aim to provide attacking support for Alexander Isak, who netted a hat-trick in the reverse fixture at Portman Road.
