Newcastle United could have Yoane Wissa available for the first time since signing the striker for £55million.
Wissa joined from Brentford on September 1 but a week later sustained a posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) on international duty with DR Congo.
The 29-year-old resumed first-team training last week and has since come through two 11v11 matches unscathed. Wissa is in contention to be in the squad versus Burnley as a substitute.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Eddie Howe said: “Getting closer, we're getting closer. We did 11 v 11 game on Wednesday, and that was good, that was more minutes for him, around about half an hour, he did well, so yeah, we'll sort of see how he is today.
“So far he's looked good and he's come through everything, but I always say in these situations, you still have training today. We've got to make a decision as to whether he's ready to not just be fit, but fit to make a difference and fit to perform to his highest levels.”
But onto the starting XI - and here’s how we’re predicting Newcastle to line-up:
1. GK: Aaron Ramsdale

3. CB: Malick Thiaw
Thiaw maybe should have done more to block Cristian Romero’s late equaliser but it’s hard to pick with a player that has been pretty flawless this campaign. | Getty Images
4. CB: Dan Burn
Who plays alongside Thiaw remains up for debate, though Burn is likely to get another opportunity to nail down the position. | Getty Images
