6. Top Scorer?
Chris' Prediction: Aleksandar Mitrovic He may have missed a sitter against Borussia Mönchengladbach but 28 goals last season, albeit in the Belgian league, proves the finishing ability is there. Georginio Wijnaldum, Moussa Sissoko and Rolando Aarons can help him net between 15 and 20 this season with good service. Ross' Prediction: Aleksandar Mitrovic Or MitroGOAL as he is going to become known on Tyneside soon... The Serbian will net 15-plus this season. Matt's Prediction: Aleksandar Mitrovic Full house once more. Yes it was in the Belgian League but Mitrovic scored 28 goals in 51 games last season and is a born finisher. He's a tidy poacher who will be a constant threat and (assuming Papiss Cisse doesn't turn on his 2011-12 form) will be the focal point for the Magpies attack this season.
