A familiar face returns to the starting XI as Nick gets the nod for today's clash at the City Ground in Nottingham. The Germany international, who last started back in March against Sunderland, has been making an impact off the bench in recent weeks—featuring as a substitute in the last three matches. Now, he steps into the lineup in place of Joe Willock, ready to make his presence felt from the opening whistle.

But the big story of the day belongs to Lewis Hall, who reaches a remarkable milestone: his 100th appearance in black and white. A lifelong Magpies supporter, Hall will be looking to celebrate the occasion in style as he replaces Lewis Miley. Unfortunately, Miley will miss the remainder of the season after fracturing his fibula during the week—a tough blow for the youngster and the squad.

Aside from these changes, it's the same starting eleven that powered past Brighton & Hove Albion last time out. Anthony Elanga, facing his former club, will be waiting in the wings among a strong bench, ready to make an impact if called upon.

Whether you're cheering from the stands or watching from home, this is a lineup packed with energy and determination. Here's the full Newcastle United side: Nick Pope, Lewis Hall, Sven Botman, Joelinton, Sandro Tonali, Malick Thiaw, William Osula, Jacob Murphy, Nick Woltemade, Dan Burn, and captain Bruno Guimarães. Substitutes include Aaron Ramsdale, Kieran Trippier, Yoane Wissa, Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes, Anthony Elanga, Joe Willock, Alex Murphy, and Jacob Ramsey.
