Newcastle has had a challenging season, facing significant injury issues that have made it difficult to find both form and results. However, one player who has maintained a high level is Kieran Trippier, who has once again stepped up and proven himself as one of the best full-backs in the league. Trippier, with 10 assists, leads the assist chart in the Premier League, with most of them coming from set-pieces, while he has also provided several key passes leading to goals.

With 10 assists, Trippier is the defender with by far the most assists. Pedro Porro (7) and Vladimir Coufal (6) are the closest pursuers. 

Trippier is a skilled full-back both offensively and defensively, and he is a set-piece specialist, which has contributed to several of his assists this season. With an upcoming European Championship in the summer, he needs to maintain his good form as there is fierce competition for the right-back position. Players like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Kyle Walker, Rico Lewis, and Reece James, if he recovers from his injury, are contenders for selection.
