Just moments before kick-off in four important English top division matches, each beginning with tribute events.
Newcastle performed horrible last week versus the Hammers, as their manager just admitted in his before the game comments. “We have to produce something better. That day with West Ham was difficult for the team. Hopefully, we have learned a lot. Now we need to start picking up results.”
On the winger: “He was not close in the end. The scan showed a very slight issue with his hip which is an excellent chance for Harvey to step up.”
Again missing the experienced striker for Forest, as the goalkeeper, Murillo, the midfielder plus the attacker return.
The German forward replaces the goal-shy Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who struggled at Brighton in the previous round.
Adam Wharton is back in the Palace lineup although there will be an absence of their captain for Crystal Palace. Brighton field the same starting eleven which beat Leeds in their last outing.
The Palace manager stated that their defender “has a bone injury, he requires support and is unable to even move freely. Currently it looks like he can’t play with the national team next week either.”
