Eddie Howe has rung the changes as Newcastle United continue their Carabao Cup defence against Fulham at St James’ Park.
After watching Newcastle United put in a dreadful performance away at Sunderland on Sunday, Howe has made big changes.
Progress in the Carabao Cup cannot make up for what happened on Wearside on Sunday but failure to secure it would send Newcastle into crisis.
Yoane Wissa starts for the first time as a Newcastle United player, replacing Nick Woltemade up front. Lewis Hall misses the game, with Tino Livramento filling in at left-back. Lewis Miley plays at right-back.
