Preston vs Newcastle United predicted team: Who deserves to start after cup brilliance?

LW Christian Atsu /// RW Matt Ritchie

After his excellent performance on Tuesday, Christian Atsu deserves to keep his place in the starting team.

Cutting in from the left the Chelsea loan man was a twisting, turning, buzzing menance and one defenders won’t look forward to facing.

With Achraf Lazaar on the left as well Newcastle United will have considerable pace and threat down that flank.

Matt Ritchie needs no introduction and had another great game in mid-week. He must be one of the first names on the team sheet this season.
