EDDIE HOWE has named an unchanged line-up for [Newcastle United](http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle)'s home game against Brentford.
With Anthony Gordon suspended and Sven Botman still unavailable through injury, Howe has opted to stick with the side that started last month's Carabao Cup final win over Liverpool.
That means Kieran Trippier once again lining up at right-back, with Tino Livramento getting the nod in the opposite full-back berth.
Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton form Newcastle's midfield trio, with Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes filling the wide-attacking roles.
Alexander Isak continues to lead the line in attack, with Callum Wilson once again named amongst the substitutes.
There is a new name on the Newcastle bench, with Howe having promoted teenage full-back Leo Shahar to the matchday squad for the first time in the Premier League.
Shahar is joined on the bench by fellow youngster Sean Neave, who has impressed with the Under-21s this season.
_NEWCASTLE (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Barnes._
_Subs: Dubravka, Wilson, Krafth, Osula, Willock, Longstaff, Miley, Neave, Shahar._
