Eddie Howe urged to make system change as Newcastle supporters make Gordon and Saint-Maximin call

Newcastle United fans would like to see both Anthony Gordon and Allan Saint-Maximin start as Eddie Howe prepares for an emotional return to Bournemouth. The Magpies travel to face the relegation battlers in Saturday evening's televised encounter, with the visitors searching for a return to winning ways.

Newcastle have booked their place in the Carabao Cup final later this month, but have been held to draws in four of their last five top-flight fixtures. Callum Wilson gave United the dream start in their last outing against West Ham, only for a Lucas Paqueta strike to seal a 1-1 draw at St James' Park.

Eddie Howe's side have scored just twice in their last five Premier League fixtures, although they have only conceded once in the same period. However, these attacking struggles have seemingly led Newcastle fans to push for a move to 4-2-3-1 for the upcoming clash at the Vitality Stadium.
