Nobody's dropped. There's an interesting stat on BBC sport app about numbers of subs used this season. Guess who's top? Yep it's us. It's no good thinking what our first 11 is anymore that concept is gone. Apparently we have used all five subs in 80% of our games. So it's about using 16 players over 95 mins

If JP was suffering nothing more than cramp at Newcastle then I would start him, with DW on the bench.
As has already been pointed out, we usually use all our subs and being part of the starting 11 isn't the "prize" it once was! We really do play as a 16 and the subs, when used, rarely weaken the team...

I would like to think as elite sportsmen, with top level medical attention, that cramp shouldn't be an issue after 6 days. However, as said, it's a 16 now, not an 11...

Welbeck or Mitoma (Pedro on the left like he did when Mitoma was injured)

Danny - managing the minutes, far too important to risk.

Once you hit a paying rhythm, especially one that wins you five games, probably best to stick with it. DW on bench, Mitoma starts for me, but maybe plays 60/70 mins. Hinsh at RB.
Leaves an Ayari/Gomez question. I would start Ayari.

Pedro bench because Welbs holds the ball up better

Welbeck off the bench is a proven success.
