Nick Pope - Keeps clean sheet in draw Pope recorded one save and allowed zero goals in Monday's 0-0 draw versus Leicester City.

Impact Pope kept his 14th clean sheet of the season Monday, an effort that secured Champions League football next season. He only needed to make one save as his defense kept Leicester's attack at bay. He faces an easier matchup next Sunday at Chelsea, a side which has scored just 36 goals in 36 league matches this season.

Kieran Trippier - 20 crosses in draw Trippier had 20 crosses (three accurate), 12 corners, three chances created and a clean sheet in Monday's 0-0 draw versus Leicester City.

Impact Trippier whipped in a whopping 20 crosses (three accurate) Monday, four more than his previous best. He also tied his season best with 12 corners, and created three chances for his fifth straight match. He helped his team keep a clean sheet as well, as he won one tackle and made one clearance in his full 90 minutes of action.

Joelinton - Injured during warmup Joelinton suffered an undisclosed injury during warmups and won't be available versus Leicester City on Monday.

Impact Joelinton entered the match dealing with a leg injury but the team didn't immediately clarify if this latest issue was related. Without the midfielder in the squad, Elliot Anderson will be pressed into service against Foxes, just his second appearance in the starting XI in Premier League action this season.

Jacob Murphy - On bench Monday Murphy (groin) will be available as a substitute versus Leicester City on Monday.

Impact Murphy had started eight of his prior 10 contests before sustaining his groin injury but finds himself watching from the bench for Monday's kickoff. Still, barring any setbacks, Murphy could be in line to reclaim a place in the starting XI for the season final versus Chelsea on May 28.

Sean Longstaff - Starting Monday Longstaff (foot) will be in the starting XI for Monday's clash with Leicester City.

Impact Longstaff is back in the starting XI for the first time since April 27 against Everton, a stretch of four matches on the shelf due to his foot problem. In his previous five contests (four starts), the midfielder registered one assist, five shots (zero on target) and one cross (accurate). Considering Longstaff hasn't put a shot on target in 10 consecutive contests, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him producing in the final third.

Joelinton - In starting XI Joelinton (leg) was named to the starting XI versus Leicester City on Monday.

Impact Joelinton avoids missing any time after picking up a knock against Brighton on Thursday. In his previous five contests, Joelinton recorded one goal on seven shots (two on target), 10 interceptions and 10 tackles (seven won). With the midfielder back in the starting XI, he should offer decent fantasy upside for the final two matches of the season.

Joelinton - In doubt against Foxes Joelinton is dealing with a leg injury and will be a doubt to face Leicester City on Monday, per Jacob Whitehead of The Athletic.

Impact Joelinton has started nine consecutive matches for the club in which he garnered four goals on 16 shots (six on target), 15 interceptions and seven chances created. As such, the midfielder should be a near-lock for the starting XI if given the all-clear to play in Monday's matchup. If not, Elliot Anderson could be tasked with stepping into Joelinton's spot on the pitch.

Jacob Murphy - Unlikely to face Leicester Murphy (groin) hasn't trained and is considered a doubt for Monday's match against Leicester City, according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact Murphy still has a chance to feature, as Howe's quotes came after Thursday's match and there's still a few days between then and Monday. Given the injury to Joe Willock, someone else will have to come into the midfield and Murphy could be an option if he can improve in the days leading up to Monday's match.

Sean Longstaff - Doubt for Monday Longstaff (foot) hasn't trained and will be a doubt for Monday's match against Leicester City, according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact It's hard to see Longstaff playing Monday, but he does have a couple days to get back in training following quotes from Howe after Thursday's match. With Joe Willock out, Newcastle will be pressed for midfield options in their couple matches. Still, Longstaff has been out three weeks and pushing him back in the squad probably isn't the best idea.

Trippier created three chances in the match (his fourth consecutive match with three or more) and whipped in nine crosses (four accurate), his sixth consecutive match with nine or more. He also took six corners, won one tackle, intercepted one pass and made one clearance in his 89 minutes of action.
