Alan Pardew has made two changes to his Newcastle United starting line-up for Tuesday night's trip to Burnley in the Barclays Premier League (7.45pm kick-off).
Mehdi Abeid and Papiss Cisse return to the team at Turf Moor, as the Magpies look to bounce back to winning ways at the first attempt following Saturday's defeat at West Ham.
The duo replace suspended pair Jack Colback and Moussa Sissoko, and it will mean a slight reshuffle to the United ranks.
Newcastle are expected to line-up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with goalkeeper Rob Elliot behind a back four of Daryl Janmaat, Mike Williamson, Paul Dummett and Massadio Haidara.
Algerian Abeid, who has recovered from a broken toe, will partner Cheick Tiote in the centre of the park, with Yoan Gouffran, Ayoze Perez and Sammy Ameobi just ahead of them.
And that trio will be aiming to provide the ammunition for four-goal leading scorer Cisse, who leads the line in Lancashire.
On the substitutes' bench there are places for forwards Emmanuel Riviere, Adam Armstrong and Remy Cabella, midfielder Vurnon Anita, defenders Steven Taylor and Remie Streete, and goalkeeper Jak Alnwick.
Burnley (4-4-2): Tom Heaton; Kieran Trippier, Michael Keane, Jason Shackell (c), Stephen Ward; Scott Arfield, Dean Marney, David Jones, George Boyd; Ashley Barnes, Danny Ings
Substitutes: Matt Gilks, Kevin Long, Ben Mee, Ross Wallace, Michael Kightly, Lukas Jutkiewicz, Marvin Sordell
Newcastle United (4-2-3-1): Rob Elliot; Daryl Janmaat, Mike Williamson, Paul Dummett, Massadio Haidara; Mehdi Abeid, Cheick Tiote (c); Yoan Gouffran, Ayoze Perez, Sammy Ameobi; Papiss Cisse
