3 Newcastle United players Benitez has to start against Brentford

Aleksandar Mitrović

The Serb has played a supporting role so far this season, with Dwight Gayle the man more often than not chosen to lead the attack.

His seven goals probably justifies that decision, however there’s often times when he looks lost in a game.

Mitrovic alongside him could help Gayle score even more and, even though he takes credit for the hat-trick against Norwich, it was the introduction of Mitro that changed the game.

The former Anderlecht man is unpredictable and a discipline worry, but he is handful for the opposition and should be full of confidence after two goals for his national side against Austria.
