Goalkeeper: Martin Dubravka – There has been huge speculation about Dubravka’s future amid Saudi interest, but the Slovakian goalkeeper has proven crucial in the absence of regular first choice Nick Pope.

Right-back: Tino Liveramento – The former Chelsea youngster has displaced Kieran Trippier, earning his place as the club’s starting right-back. He will have to be good defensively against the tricky Antoine Simenho on Saturday.

Centre-back: Fabian Schar – Suspension and illness have forced Schar to sit out recent Premier League matches, although he did appear in the FA Cup last weekend. The Swiss should be available against Bournemouth as Newcastle look for a sixth clean sheet in eight matches.

ST: Alexander Isaac – Isaac can score for the ninth consecutive Premier League match on Saturdaywhich would bring him closer to matching Jamie Vardy’s 11-game scoring streak. He is arguably the most brilliant striker in Europe.
