By IANS News August 16, 2025 • 16:36 PM View: 711

Amadou Onana Youri Tielemans: Anthony Elanga will make his competitive Newcastle United debut when the Magpies face Aston Villa in their Premier League season opener on Saturday.

Eddie Howe's side open the 2025/26 campaign at Villa Park and the United boss has elected to field Pope - who was handed the number one shirt earlier this week - between the sticks, with summer signing Aaron Ramsdale among the substitutes.

And former Nottingham Forest winger Elanga will line up for his first competitive Newcastle appearance against Unai Emery's men with another of the Magpies' recent recruits, defender Malick Thiaw, also named on the bench.
