Ahead of next week’s Champions League clash against PSG, Hiddink is resting Oscar and Mikel as he promised a slight change on Friday’s press conference. Fabregas plays on more defensive role today as Pedro comes into the starting line-up, with Costa up front despite his broken nose.
Newcastle look to build through the newly signed Shelvey who’s making a great difference for the Magpies in the midfield. Wiljandum and Mitrovic also play a big part on the away side’s attacking threat.
