When Howe talks about ‘utilising his squad’ it is no longer shorthand for surrendering League Cup ambitions
Instead it reflects a recruitment policy that has been centred around building a group where losing one star man doesn’t spell disaster.
We will see on Wednesday how far along that road Newcastle really are, with Howe preparing to hand Hall and Livramento first starts while also retaining Elliot Anderson, the promising midfielder at the centre of an international tug of war between Scotland and England. The 17-year-old midfielder Lewis Miley, an academy graduate who has been exciting Newcastle’s coaching staff, is another player being considered for promotion. Youth will run through the XI.
“We have players that are really keen to play and show what they can do,” Howe said on Tuesday and he will leave his team selection until the last minute. But he knows he has options, even with Joe Willock, Joelinton and Harvey Barnes all facing prolonged spells on the sidelines.
