Theo Hernandez to be shown a card

While Theo Hernandez might have played a crucial role in Milan’s Champions League semi-final adventure last season, the 25-year-old has continued to gain a reputation for his disciplinary issues. In fact, shown what has quickly become a customary booking in the Derby della Madonnina over the weekend, the French defender has been brandished with a yellow card in four of his last six appearances for club and country. Likewise, along with being shown a booking in back-to-back contests at the San Siro, only two of AC Milan’s current crop (Fikayo Tomori and Ride Krunic) were handed more Champions League cautions last season. Facing a Newcastle squad that have impressed many with their free-flowing approach in the final third, Hernandez could be tested by the pacey Alexander Isak on Tuesday evening.

 

Bruno Guimaraes to make over 1.5 tackles

Expected to sign a bumper new contract extension at St. James’ Park, Bruno Guimaraes has certainly made an immediate impact since arriving in the north east. Really a key part of Eddie Howe’s plans at the heart of Newcastle’s midfield, the Brazilian international has also endeared himself through his rugged approach. Already completing nine Premier League tackles in his opening five top-flight appearances this season, only ex-Brighton defender Dan Burn (11) can boast a better return. Likewise, completing three tackles during Newcastle’s last away trip to Brighton on September 2nd, Guimaraes is also averaging 1.8 completed tackles so far this season. Once again expected to play a crucial role to play on Tuesday evening, the former Lyon ace will undoubtedly have to be at his destructive best here.

 

Miguel Almiron to have over 0.5 shots on target

While the attacking duo of Isak and Callum Wilson might have continued to spearhead Newcastle’s charge this season, Miguel Almiron has cemented his spot as one of Howe’s unsung heroes. Although the Paraguayan international might still be waiting to open his Premier League account since getting the new campaign underway, the 29-year-old has been prominent in the final third. In fact, already producing nine Premier League shots in his five appearances this season, it is only Wilson (10) who has had more attempts at goal. Likewise, averaging 1.8 shots on goal per Premier League appearance so far, Almiron will be looking to test an AC Milan defence that shipped five goals in the Derby della Madonnina a few days ago.
