Newcastle United PREDICTED XI vs Southampton

Right-Back - Daryl Janmaat

Daryl Janmaat is arguably Newcastle's best player and will be looking for a higher Premier League finish this season. He is crucial to the defence and contributes heavily going forward. The Dutchman grabbed an impressive six league assists last season.

Left-Back - Massadio Haidara

Massadio Haidara has impressed during the summer and, due to Paul Dummett still being injured, the defender has made the position his own. It will be a big test for the 22-year-old who is still incredibly raw but possesses good strength in defence and can contribute well going forward.
