“We have a squad we use and when we play four competitions we need a squad, you can’t do it with 11 players — both from the load point of view but also the tactical. (Newcastle) is a great team, a clear philosophy about how they want to play the game. They’re an annoying team to play against, so we have to find a way to win. They try to annoy you. We have to play our game and focus on our game,” he added.
Ten Hag also confirmed French forward Anthony Martial remains out injured and will not take part on Sunday
