Newcastle United supporters have made a big call ahead of the FA Cup Third Round clash with Sheffield Wednesday. The Magpies faithful have opted to start Martin Dubravka following his return from Manchester United.
The Slovakian international had spent the first-half of the campaign on loan at Old Trafford, looking to usurp David De Gea and become the Red Devils number one, but a lack of game time saw him return to St. James' Park. The loan move raised some eyebrows on Tyneside, with supporters questioning why Dubravka opted for the move when he could have battled with Nick Pope to become number one under Eddie Howe.
However, supporters have decided to rest Pope for the trip to Hillsborough and give Dubravka an opportunity to impress. That decision, should Howe follow suit, would then have knock on effects regarding a possible permanent departure in January.
