Bruno Guimaraes dilemma and left-back decision: Pick your Newcastle United XI to take on Aston Villa

They say you don't change a winning team, but Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe will have to make at least one adjustment this weekend.

The Magpies go into Sunday's game with Aston Villa looking for their third win in a row, and to continue a strong run which has seen them edge out of the Premier League relegation zone.

The midweek win over Everton was achieved without January signings Dan Burn and Bruno Guimaraes - the latter making a late substitute appereance - but both will be hoping to start at the weekend.

Howe will have to find a new left-back, as Matt Targett is unable to play against his parent club.

That could mean Burn is handed his debut in that role, although Javier Manquillo is also in the running after impressing against Leeds United, with Paul Dummett and Matt Ritchie out injured and Jamal Lewis not in the 25-man Premier League squad.

Much could depend on Kieran Trippier's fitness, with Manquillo on standby in case the England international misses out with a calf problem.

The other key dilemma is where to accomodate Guimaraes. The Brazilian was United's big January signing, but dropping one of current midfield trio of Jonjo Shelvey, Joe Willock and Joelinton would be a big call.

And that's where you come in.
