The Magpies welcome back both Alexander Isak and Lewis Miley from their respective injuries. Isak has missed the last three matches with a broken toe while Miley hasn’t feature since March because of a back problem and a broken metatarsal.
Ahead of the match, United head coach Eddie Howe said: “Alex has trained and trained well. He trained the start of this week and has looked good so he's in contention. The toe has fully healed.”
On Miley, Howe added: “He has been back training during the break,” said head coach Eddie Howe. “He has looked really good, looks like he has not been away.
“It has been great to see. We will re-introduce him at the right time, he will have some competition, he is coming back into a great environment.”
Isak leads the line while Miley is on the bench. Howe has named two changes from the 0-0 draw at Everton before the international break.
Callum Wilson is yet to feature this season due to a back and hamstring injury, and despite training this week isn’t involved.
“Callum has also trained but we'll continue assessing him day by day, we need to make the decision when we involve him with the rest of the group,” Howe said. “It's a day-by-day thing, when we have Callum back we want to keep him back so we want to make the right call.”
As confirmed by Howe in his press conference, Kieran Trippier will be absent for the next few weeks with a hamstring issue.
