These are the Newcastle vs Qarabag confirmed lineups for their Champions League play-of fixture. This will feature the latest team news for both sides with the Magpies taking a commanding 6-1 lead into the second leg and having the luxury of resting some of their star players. We could see some academy folks make a big splash and some of the fringe names try to play their way into form as the side balances and underwhelming domestic campaign with their European hopes.
Eddie Howe has been dealing with a big injury problem in recent weeks but that didn’t stop him from winning heavily in the first leg. Bruno Guimaraes is the biggest absentee at the moment, having suffered a thigh injury that has hime out for a month or two.
Emil Krafth is out for the rest of the season following surgery. Fabian Schar, Tino Livramento, Lewis Miley, Yoane Wissa, and Sven Botman are also potentially sidelined for this one.
Wissa and Botman are uncertain, with either one eligible to play but with the 6-1 lead on aggregate, they could be left at home and protected for the Premier League fixtures.
Subs: Pope, Ruddy, Harris, Hall, Wissa, Gordon, Elanga, Willock, Shahar, Neave
Similar situation to the first leg as the Azerbaijan representatives have Shahrudin Mahammadaliyev as a doubt.
