2) Joe Allen vs Moussa Sissoko
Elsewhere in the battle for midfield supremacy, Welsh wizard Joe Allen will be up against arguably Newcastle’s best player, French international Moussa Sissoko. The 25-year-old will no doubt be hoping to take advantage of his opponent’s somewhat sketchy form over recent games, with his performance key to any potential result for the visitors. He joined Newcastle in 2013 and has since scored nine league goals in 75 appearances. Allen will need help from his probable defensive anchorman Lucas to keep the marauding Sissoko at bay.
