Newcastle's Lineup Dilemma: Howe to Start £28M Star vs Spurs?

As the Premier League returns to St James’ Park, all eyes are on Eddie Howe’s team selection for the highly-anticipated clash against Tottenham Hotspur. With injuries and form concerns plaguing the Magpies’ squad, the Newcastle boss faces a delicate balancing act to field the strongest possible lineup. According to the predicted XI, Howe is expected to make two changes from the side that secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Fulham. The most notable alteration could see the £28 million winter signing, Harvey Barnes, earn his first start for the club, replacing the out-of-form Jacob Murphy on the right wing.
