Tuchel also said Werner and Lukaku will aim to get back after the international break. Pulisic will only be ready next weekend.

Thank fuck we’re so deep in midfield.

We might have the numbers but...

[MoroccanBlue 5,322]

How's Ruben? I know he had a hip flexor scare earlier in the week?

[Pizy 18,539]

He didn’t mention Ruben, right? So you assume he’s good to go tomorrow. TT seemed pleased with Saul the other day so maybe he’ll be up to speed enough to finally start if Kante isn’t ready to do so.

No specific mention of Loftus-Cheek. 

But he said "everyone else is available" at the beginning, only to then suddenly reveal that Kovacic got a hamstring injury.

Yeah...It sucks because Kovavcic has been our best CM so far this season.

But that's why we signed squad players. In anticipation of shit like this.

Hate the fact that he's out for a while..it can disrupt a players rhythm., but then again the same thing happened at the tail end  of last season and he return in decent form ahead of the CL final.

For once, I'm not complaining about the international break.

its nice to recover puli, kova, werner and lukaku

It is very encouraging listening to Tuchel talk about the keys to competing for championships and games in general. He focuses on these aspects which means our players have a guide to be successful. You hear too many managers and coaches talk about having the right mentality and wanting it more than your opponent. That really does not help players to raise their performances at all.

I hate this fixture with a passion as we always seem to have a nightmare up there. 

For me, it has to be full strength.

AC/Dave Silva Rudi

James Jorgi Kante Chilwell

He went through full training with everyone else today. He is fit.

[MoroccanBlue 5,322]

Anyone beheading to St. James park for this?

The Saudis are yet to reintroduce beheadings to Newcastle but surely will do so soon

[LAM09 6,871]

Hope Tuchel goes with the same front three that started against Norwich.

[MoroccanBlue 5,322]

Mount injured?

[DDA 9,768]

Decent line up. Tomo must be loving Havertz in the forward position. 

[nyikolajevics 2,605]

No attacker on the bench. Hope starters can do the job.

[different level 1,056]

No Mount even on the bench?

[milka 3,372]

Bad feeling about  this game . 

2 goalkeepers and 4 defenders  on the bench 😄

First time this season that I've been worried about the lack of options. Had hoped Pulisic would be on the bench.
