Also looking to bounce back after the Champions League exit to Barcelona.
We just wanted to get a quick snapshot of what fans would like this Newcastle United team v Sunderland to be.
Which eleven players do you think Eddie Howe should select?
We put together a list of the 19 players who could potentially be selected for this game from the first team squad.
Out due to injury; Schar, Krafth, Miley and Bruno all look certain to be unavailable.
Sandro Tonali included in the options as on Friday, Eddie Howe said it wasn’t a serious injury the midfielder had picked up against Barcelona, that if Tonali came through training okay, he would be in contention for today.
