Fans were delighted to see that Kieran Trippier will make his first start in three months against Burnley today – though there was also sympathy for Emil Krafth who loses his place.
Newcastle United head to Turf Moor this afternoon to face a Burnley side fighting for Premier League survival. Nobody can say Eddie Howe has not chosen his strongest side, with just two changes from the team that won 2-0 against Arsenal on Monday night.
The big news is that Trippier starts against his former side, taking the right-back spot from Emil Krafth. Trippier came on as a substitute against Manchester City after recovering from an injury suffered in February, but stayed on the bench against Arsenal.
