Newcastle United PREDICTED XI (And Score) Vs Swansea
10. No 10 - Georginio Wijnaldum (Southampton Rating - 8)
Georginio Wijnaldum would certainly have been the name on everyones lips as they left St James Park on Sunday. The new signing moved the ball well, retained possession and scored a fantastic headed goal after making a typical box-to-box run at the beginning of the second-half. It's likely that the Dutchman will drop slightly deeper than he did against Southampton as Newcastle will look to defend for longer periods and aim to hit Swansea on the counter-attack.
