Team news

The Magpies could be without Ryan Fraser and Allan Saint-Maximin after the former limped off against West Ham and the latter is a doubt - neither player was spotted in Wednesday’s training session.

However, Javier Manquillo could be back in contention for a place in Howe’s matchday squad. The Spaniard took part in training on Wednesday.

There are several options to replace both Fraser and Saint-Maximin if not fit for the game, Miquel Almiron the most likely to fill either side of midfield, while wing-back Matt Ritchie could also start on the wing if needed.
