The Northern Echo’s chief sports writer Scott Wilson believes Anthony Gordon should be starting ahead of Harvey Barnes for the remaining Premier League fixtures.

Newcastle have Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton left to play in their bid for a top five finish and a spot in next season’s Champion League.

Speaking to BBC Radio Newcastle, Wilson said Gordon can have a bigger impact on these big games: “Going into these last few games, especially Sunday, I think you play Anthony Gordon. I’d leave Harvey Barnes out.

“Barnes had moments on the left and did pretty well against Brighton, but I just think if you write down your best Newcastle starting XI, Gordon is in it.

“It feels like Barnes is sometimes more direct, but I still think in a big game I back Gordon to be more of a difference-maker.”
