Sheffield United-Newcastle is a match on the sixth day of the Premier League and is played on Sunday at 17:30: tv, formations, predictions.
After the match against AC Milan in the Champions League, many wondered how Howe’s Newcastle could have finished fourth last season in the Premier League. It was a sign: not everyone followed what England’s Bianconeri were able to do over the course of a truly incredible year. The current one, however, has not started in the best of ways.
That defensive resilience that led to a resounding fourth place has been somewhat lost. Yes, that’s right, because after five matches, with six points on the board, there have already been seven goals conceded by Tonali and his team-mates. A lot, too many, for a team that would like to repeat but knows it is very difficult. Of course, against Sheffield, who have only scored one so far, the task should not be so difficult.
A draw against Everton for the hosts, then only defeats. Obviously, one hopes that the European dross will make a difference in tomorrow’s league game, but Newcastle are objectively stronger in all areas of the pitch and could be able to win a victory that could be very important to give confidence to a group still searching not only for the best physical condition, but also for the right tactical balance.
Eddie Howe
The Prediction
You can expect a Newcastle win against a team that has made a poor start to the season. Ok the physical and mental scoriae of the Champions League, but the gap on the field is too important not to see the Bianconeri as favourites. A match that shouldn’t offer any big emotions, so with less than three goals in total.
The Sheffield United-Newcastle line-up probables
- SHEFFIELD UNITED (3-5-2): Foderingham; Ahmedhodzic, Egan, Robinson; Bogle, Souza, Hamer, Thomas; McAtee; Traore, Archer.
- NEWCASTLE (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Tonali; Gordon, Isak, Barnes.
