Everton XI vs Preston North End – Predicted lineup and team news

Newcastle United will field a predicted starting XI of 4-2-3-1 for their Carabao Cup match against West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday, 26 August 2026 at 19:45. Newly appointed captain Dan Burn will miss the game due to ankle ligament damage, while Joelinton and Tino Livramento also remain sidelined with groin and calf injuries respectively.

However, William Osula, who suffered an ankle knock against Liverpool, should be available to feature. Jaissle has acknowledged managing player fatigue and may consider pairing Osula with Yoane Wissa ahead of Nick Woltemade, who is set to make his first start of the season. Joe Willock could potentially start in midfield following his substitute goal against Liverpool, while £43 million signing Bazoumana Toure aims to make his full debut in attack, possibly at the expense of Anthony Elanga or Harvey Barnes.

A potential deal to sign midfielder Nico Gonzalez from Manchester City remains unconfirmed, and it is uncertain whether he would be available for selection even if the deal is completed before the match. The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports+ in the UK.
