Yoane Wissa misses the game after picking up a knock and Sven Botman has been rested. Bruno Guimaraes is also absent with the captain facing up to eight weeks on the sidelines with the hamstring injury he suffered at Tottenham in midweek, a huge blow for the Magpies.
Aaron Ramsdale, Lewis Hall, Sandro Tonali, Jacob Murphy, Nick Woltemade and William Osula come into the side tonight, with Nick Pope, Botman, Bruno, Joe Willock, Anthony Elanga and Anthony Gordon dropping out.
Newcastle have two goalkeepers and three youngsters in Leo Shahar, Sean Neave and Seung-soo Park on the park.
