Rafael Benitez should try out Newcastle tweak to his attack
Newcastle United sit just a point above the relegation zone as it stands, but do have some favourable fixtures coming up and should be confident of pulling away from trouble in the Premier League.
The Magpies play next in 10 days time at home to bottom of the table Huddersfield Town, while they have another fixture at St James’ Park just three days later against Burnley.
It’s a huge opportunity for Rafael Benitez’s side to pick up six points if they perform well and the manger should make a slight tweak to the attack.
Benitez has found success against the bigger teams with a five-man defence, but they need to be more adventurous against teams around them and the focus has to go into the final third.
Newcastle should deploy a new-look attacker that could work wonders and help them deliver in front of goal.

A 4-2-3-1 formation could allow Salomon Rondon spearhead the attack, with three creative players tucked in behind him.
January addition Miguel Almiron and Matt Ritchie should provide the creativity from wide areas, with Spaniard Ayoze Perez supporting from the number 10 role.
Newcastle have never used those four players in attack together, but there is a lot of potential for goals and creativity that should ask a lot of question of Huddersfield.
