Summary

Anthony Gordon and Lewis Hall are the usual corner takers for Newcastle, while Hall or Bruno Guimaraes take charge from free-kicks. Unsurprisingly, 6' 7'' Dan Burn is the main target.

Newcastle tend to fire corners onto the goalkeeper or the near post, with 12 per cent played short. The Magpies play a quarter of their free-kicks short, with another quarter played out to either channel.
