Newcastle boss Howe rewarded with Guimaraes change

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe tweaked his midfield setup in their most recent game.

The Magpies had to fight hard to beat Nottingham Forest 3-2 in the Premier League.

While Newcastle have a lot of injuries, Howe tweaked his midfield to play Bruno Guimaraes further forward.

Lewis Miley played as the deepest of a midfield three, while Sean Longstaff mixed in between Miley and Guimaraes.

The Magpies have been reluctant to listen to fan calls to play Guimaraes further forward.

But he did score twice in the away success, which may prompt a permanent change in tactics from Howe.
