Norwich City vs Newcastle United: Eddie Howe makes multiple changes to starting line-up

Eddie Howe rang the changes to his team and recalled skipper Jamaal Lascelles to his side for the clash at Carrow Road today. Lascelles replaced Fabian Schar who was rested while Joe Willock, Jacob Murphy and Sean Longstaff came in for Jonjo Shelvey, Chris Wood and Miguel Almiron.

Longstaff has not started a game since the 1-0 defeat at Chelsea in March. Murphy has not been getting regular game but starts at his old club while Joe Willock is back in the side.

Howe opted to rest Miguel Almiron despite his winner against Crystal Palace. Jonjo Shelvey sat out in Norfolk while Chris Wood was also next to him on the bench.
