Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend
A chance for Manchester United’s players to impress, an audition for Iraola and a pivotal clash at Portman Road
Dilemmas, dilemmas. Eddie Howe has a few in advance of Arsenal’s visit to Tyneside on Saturday as Newcastle aim to correct a run of five Premier League games without a win. Wednesday night’s restorative Carabao Cup victory against Chelsea has surely created competition for places, particularly at right-back where Emil Krafth’s strong performance suggests he should arguably start in front of Tino Livramento. Significantly, with Bruno Guimarães benched for most of the evening, Sandro Tonali shone right at the heart of midfield. Is now the moment to leave the Italy international in the centre of things and relocate Guimarães to Tonali’s right or even start the Brazil midfielder on the bench again? Similarly Joe Willock, once of Arsenal, impressed on the left side of that department, pressing well and carrying the ball considerable distances across the pitch.
