Eddie Howe makes his selection as Newcastle United take on Team K-League in South Korea

Newcastle United are in pre-season friendly action today in Swuon, South Korea, taking on the K-League All Stars in the first of two friendlies in Korea.

Eddie Howe's men will take on Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, so Eddie Howe will be resisting the urge to make wholesale changes at half time today, instead aiming to put out two different teams for each game.

As new signing Park Seung-soo returns to the ground where he made his name, the 18-year-old must make do with a place on the Newcastle United bench.

Eddie Howe spoke about doing all he can to give Park some minutes in front of his home crowd, so we expect to see the youngster make his debut at some point.

Three changes for Eddie Howe's team

Howe has fielded a fairly strong XI with a few changes from the team that started against Arsenal on Sunday.

Emil Krafth and Tino Livramento come into the starting lineup as does Lewis Miley who replaces Bruno Guimaraes.

Jamaal Lascelles will don the captain's armband as he continues his return to fitness after more than a year on the sidelines.

Alex Murphy gets the nod ahead of Matt Targett again

Lewis Hall takes up a spot on the bench, but after what Eddie Howe said the other day, we'd be amazed if he gets onto the pitch this afternoon.

Alex Murphy gets another chance to impress How,e as it seems the youngster has definitely caught the gaffer's eye with him being selected ahead of Matt Targett for the second game in a row.

Again, it's just a friendly, so the result isn't massively important, and given the stifling conditions the lads are playing in, we aren't expecting a classic, but as long as everyone comes through unscathed, we'll be happy.
