Newcastle team v Ipswich confirmed – Diame dropped and Perez, Yedlin, Colback play
The Newcastle team v Ipswich has just been named, with United staying top if they get a better result than Norwich today.
Rafa Benitez makes three changes from the team that won 2-0 against Barnsley at Oakwell on Tuesday.
Colback comes in for Hayden, Yedlin at right-back instead of Anita, whilst it is Perez for Diame as the Spaniard plays two homes games in a row.
All three players drop to the bench, which looks pretty strong with the likes of Mitrovic, Atsu, Sels and Mbemba completing the subs.
Newcastle starting 11:
Darlow, Yedlin, Clark, Lascelles, Dummett, Gouffran, Colback, Shelvey, Ritchie, Perez, Gayle
Subs:
Sels, Anita, Mbemba, Hayden, Atsu, Diame, Mitrovic
Newcastle United official social media are showing the team as a 4-4-1-1 formation.
