Louis Saha has urged Eddie Howe to find “the perfect formula” for Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson. The duo are yet to start a game together for Newcastle United in recent weeks, with the Magpies keeping their trusted 4-3-3 formation.
Wilson was given a chance to continue his impressive pre-World Cup form once the season resumed in December. However, just one goal amplified noises for Isak - returning from a lengthy thigh injury - to get his chance.
On his first top-flight start since the lay-off, the Swede scored a well-taken header to put Newcastle in front against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Following that up with a brace at Nottingham Forest justified Howe’s decision to drop his trusted lieutenant Wilson.
