At St. James' Park
Steve McClaren has made one change from the side which lost 5-1 at Crystal Palace as Newcastle entertain Liverpool (kick-off 4pm).
Siem de Jong replaces Ayoze Perez for the Magpies in the televised clash at St. James' Park.
Rob Elliot continues in goal while Daryl Janmaat is at right-back.
At left-back, Paul Dummett makes his 50th Barclays Premier League appearance. His second came in this fixture two years ago, when he scored his only league goal to date in a 2-2 draw.
Captain Fabricio Coloccini makes his 200th top flight appearance alongside Chancel Mbemba.
Moussa Sissoko and Georginio Wijnaldum continue in midfield, along with Vurnon Anita and Jack Colback, who makes his 50th Magpies appearance.
Former Ajax skipper De Jong is likely to play just off Papiss Cisse while Perez drops to the bench.
The other substitutes are Karl Darlow, Jamie Sterry, Kevin Mbabu, Yoan Gouffran, Florian Thauvin and Aleksandar Mitrovic
