Newcastle United are unchanged from last weekend’s 4-1 win at Fulham - as Allan Saint-Maximin returns to the bench.

The Frenchman is back in the matchday squad after missing the previous four Premier League games with a hamstring injury.

Alongside Saint-Maximin, Eddie Howe will have the likes of Joelinton, Ryan Fraser, Chris Wood and Elliot Anderson to call upon from the bench - if needed.

Sven Botman retains his place alongside Fabian Schar in central defence, while Dan Burn continues at left-back. Kieran Trippier, of course, is the other full-back.

Bruno Guimaraes and Joe Willock start in midfield, as does Sean Longstaff, who is again selected ahead of Joelinton after the Brazilian was an unused last Saturday due to a knee injury.

Callum Wilson leads the attack with Jacob Murphy and Miguel Almiron either side. The Paraguayan scored a brace last time out.
