Newcastle United PREDICTED XI (And Score) Vs Northampton Town

4. Centre Back - Mike Williamson (Man Utd Rating - N/A)

"WHYYYYYY?" I hear you ask... Well, because the Shields Gazette think that Fabricio Coloccini - after his man of the match display at Old Trafford - will be given a well deserved break and Willo will step in to fill the void.. A game against Northampton is more his level, right?

5. Centre Back - Chancel Mbemba (Man Utd Rating - 8.5)

Another man that deserves a break after his heroics against Manchester United at the weekend - but someone has to take the place of Steven Taylor who quite simply can't play three games in seven days in 2015/16. Mbemba has youth, fitness and exuberance on his side and is likely to oust the vastly inexperienced Jamaal Lascelles, as playing the former Nottingham Forest man could be construed as too much of a gamble by Newcastle's fans.
