The fans choice of Newcastle team v Sheffield United

We asked fans the question, which 11 players would you pick in your Newcastle team v Sheffield United?

We put together a list of the 22 players who looked as though they could potentially be selected for this game.

Steve Bruce needing to improve a run of only two wins in the last eleven Premier League matches.

Paul Dummett isn’t eligible as he wasn’t named in the NUFC PL squad at the end of January, whilst Ciaran Clark still appears to be ruled  out after his ankle operation, not featuring in any of the friendlies before restart.

Steve Bruce on Friday morning confirmed that Florian Lejuene and the Longstaff brothers were also unavailable due to injury.

He also said Ritchie and Gayle are doubtful but we included them still amongst the options.
