Newcastle host Hull City at St James’ Park on Saturday, September 19 (10:00 AM ET / 9:00 AM CT / 7:00 AM PT).
Newcastle’s team news is dominated by absences: the injured Ewen Jaouen, Nicolas Gonzalez Iglesias, Joelinton, Dan Burn and William Osula are all out, sidelined Anthony Elanga also misses out, and doubtful Jacob Ramsey carries a thigh issue. That leaves Yoane Wissa, Harvey Barnes and Joe Willock as the players Newcastle will lean on for goals. Hull City have selection issues of their own: the injured Eliot Matazo, Darko Gyabi, Jack Butland, Ilyas Ansah, Charlie Hughes, Nobel Mendy and Hidemasa Morita are all out, while doubtful Paddy McNair carries an ankle problem. Mohamed Belloumi, who has scored twice already this season, is expected to lead the visitors’ attack alongside wing-back Ryan Giles and striker Oliver McBurnie.

Newcastle vs Hull City Prediction
This has the shape of a cagey afternoon rather than a shootout. Newcastle’s defence has room to tighten up after conceding 4 at Leeds, but Hull City’s own attack has produced goals mainly through Belloumi, not a settled front line, and St James’ Park should offer enough of an edge to decide a low-scoring contest. Newcastle 1-0 Hull City.
