Set for St. Andrew's
Newcastle are in Emirates FA Cup action at Birmingham City on Saturday.
Rafa Benitez might be tempted to rotate his squad at St. Andrew's, and the likes of Massadio Haidara, Cheick Tiote and Daryl Murphy were keen to catch the manager's eye in training on Friday.
But the ever-reliable Vurnon Anita, wideman Matt Ritchie and midfielder Isaac Hayden were also involved in the final session ahead of the match, while Sammy Ameobi features in Serena Taylor's gallery for nufc.co.uk after he returned from his loan spell at Bolton Wanderers.
