Burnley vs Newcastle United team news as Eddie Howe names a strong side for relegation decider

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe named a strong line-up for the final day clash at Burnley.

The Toon chief did not risk Fabian Schar who is still recovering from a head injury but Kieran Trippier started for the first time since a foot injury.

Trippier linked up with skipper Jamaal Lascelles in defence while Dan Burn continues in the idle.

Loanee Matt Targett started what could be his last game for the club while Sean Longstaff and Bruno Guimaraes were in the engine room with player of the year Joelinton.

Miguel Almiron, Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin made up the attack.

On the bench, Federico Fernandez took his place alongside other players with uncertain futures like Dwight Gayle, Matt Ritchie and Karl Darlow.

Chris Wood was only named as sub against the club he joined for £25million in January.
