Kapitel 116: FA Cup game- against Newcastle United

Due to the fatigue that still lingered from the Liverpool EFL Cup game, Coach Marco Silva heavily rotated his starting XI for the Newcastle United game.

Instead of Bernd Leno starting between the posts for Fulham FC, Rodak, the second-choice goalkeeper started instead.

And instead of Raul Jimenez leading the line, Muniz was given a chance to start at the head of the formation as the striker for this game.

Behind the striker, Pereira was given a rest, making way for the young Nigerian midfielder who stole all the headlines in the last game, Samuel Moses.

Beside Sam on both sides, De Cordova-Reid started on his left, replacing Willian as the left winger for this game while Wilson started as the right winger.

Palhinha was also rested for this game, giving Lukic and Reed the chance to start as the double pivot for the game.
