Qarabag vs Newcastle United LIVE Team News, Analysis and Highlights
Eddie Howe highlighted Kieran Trippier and Sandro Tonali as key starters due to injuries to several regulars and recent strong form, including Tonali's two goals in the last match.
- Yesterday, Eddie Howe named Kieran Trippier as certain to start for his right-back role and flagged Sandro Tonali after his two long-range goals; Howe made the remarks at his pre-match press conference in Baku ahead of tonight's UEFA Champions League play-off first leg.
- Carrying a reduced squad, Howe faced limited cover as Newcastle travelled with just 17 senior players, including key absentees who did not make the 2529-mile trip to Baku.
- Joelinton's return after 9 games out with a groin problem bolstered Howe's options, with Anthony Gordon expected to start and Anthony Elanga also in contention.
- Newcastle will aim to take an advantage into the second leg at St James' Park next week, boosted by two away wins and praised travelling fans who made a 2,500-mile trip.
- UEFA's yellow-card rule does not wipe cards until the quarter-final, meaning players face suspension risk over four matches at the Tofiq Bahramov Stadium, which holds around 31,200 seats.
