So I predict a 4-4-1-1 with Obertan also coming into the side on the right to largely try and negate Evra’s forward runs.

However, in terms of saving money in the long run, rather than going to France (Abeid), Holland (Krul) and Italy (Santon) for our youngsters, why not spend a little extra developing our own young players?

Alan Pardew ‘I thought Santon had his best game for us (against Bolton) – he was brilliant”.

Great news as NUFC confirm attacking line-up of Santon only change for Guthrie.

Newcastle’s game against Liverpool is a fantastic opportunity for Alan Pardew’s men to really make their mark at the top of the Premier League table.

We need all out attack today with Santon and Ferguson at full-back and Ben Arfa, Ba and Cissé taking it to Norwich at the other end.

Is it time for Danny Simpson to drop to the bench and David Santon move to the right?

‘The article maintains that he will travel in the next 72 hours to Newcastle to undergo a medical. If it is successful Aly Cissokho could sign on Monday with the Magpies, who have been watching him for quite some time’.

Dan Gosling returns after suspension to give midfield back-up from the bench.

Davide Santon should also be available, I think he should go straight into the team but no doubt many of you would see that as tough on Raylor.

A decent first half but both posts came to Swansea’s rescue, energy and inspiration levels dropping as the second half wore on.

Little inspiration came off the bench and no doubt many will wonder why Ben Arfa wasn’t thrown on to try and break the deadlock.
