Newcastle United supporters are looking forward to seeing Elliot Anderson in action for the Magpies at Tranmere tonight. Eddie Howe has made 10 changes from the side that drew 3-3 against Manchester City on Sunday with only Joe Willock retaining his place.
A reshuffle was expected following an intense afternoon against the reigning Premier League champions, while Dan Burn, Ryan Fraser and Callum Wilson are unavailable. Matt Targett returns to the side after missing the last two matches with injury and Elliot Anderson’s inclusion has generated considerable excitement among the fanbase.
Karl Darlow starts in goal with Nick Pope rested and Martin Dubravka ill.
Newcastle Starting XI: Karl Darlow; Emil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles (C), Paul Dummett, Matt Targett; Sean Longstaff, Joe Willock, Elliot Anderson; Matt Ritchie, Chris Wood, Jacob Murphy.
Subs: Gillespie, Trippier, Botman, Joelinton, Lewis, Fernandez, Manquillo, Almiron, Guimaraes.

Here is how the supporters reacted to Howe’s latest team selection.
@xander_tm9 Those complaining – this level used to be our first team not so long ago.
@imwillis76 Three £40m players on the bench. Aye, we’re ticking along quite nicely.
@PawlMartin No Dubravka? Suspect he may be off. Don’t blame him. I love Pope as our number 1, but Dubravka has been a brilliant GK for us, especially for the price we paid. Solid keeper and deserves a start.
@FreshClobberCo Anderson is going to have a fun night.
@nufcyorkshire Come on lads! Really hoping for a cup run this season.
@uwnvXBL Elliot Anderson hat-trick incoming.
@ItsMrLucky13 Anderson masterclass incoming.
