Newcastle United fans have urged manager Rafa Benitez to start Christian Atsu in Monday's clash against Aston Villa.
Atsu, 25, has not started for the Magpies in the league since December.
He enjoyed a starting role as United recorded a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest two months ago.
But the Toon fans want manager Rafa Benitez to start the tricky winger in the match against struggling Villa.
@All_NUFC_Fans Gayle to start for sure. Diame ahead of perez. And atsu to start instead of Gouffran

@NUFCTheMag Darlow, Yedlin, Clark, Lascelles, Dummett, Ritchie, Atsu, Shelvey, Gouffran, Gayle, Murphy — Scott Devanny (PT) (@PT_DevannyScott) February 17, 2017
Regarding Villa, I expect few changes to the side. Gayle to start, maybe Diame comes in, and Atsu for Gouffran at a push. #nufc
