Chancel Mbemba
Making four starts this season, and a further appearance off the bench, Chancel Mbemba has been one of Newcastle’s most consistent players this season and the questionable performance from Isaac Hayden last weekend suggests he should start in defensive midfield.
Mbemba has been utilised at left-back throughout the season, where he has impressed, but it’s not his natural position and he deserves a chance in a central role. With his midfield presence, he could cause Burnley a wealth of issues.
