'Not convinced' - Newcastle supporters react to Eddie Howe's four changes as Jacob Murphy starts

Newcastle United fans have questioned Eddie Howe's decision to hand Jacob Murphy his first Premier League start of the season. The Magpies boss named four changes from the side who were frustrated by Bournemouth for Saturday's clash at Fulham.

Callum Wilson returns to lead the line in the absence of Alexander Isak, while Sven Botman partners Fabian Schar in defence with Dan Burn set to play left-back. Bruno Guimaraes keeps his place in midfield despite injury concerns, while Joelinton and Ryan Fraser drop to the bench.

The Magpies are searching for their first Premier League win since the opening-day success over Nottingham Forest. Victory at Craven Cottage would see the visitors leapfrog Fulham, who have made a positive start to life back in the top division.
