Eddie Howe has named an unchanged team from the 3-0 loss to Everton in midweek. In fact, he starts the same 10 outfielders for a fifth consecutive game.
Martin Dubravka again deputises in goal for the absent Nick Pope and Newcastle, for all their injury problems, do at least have Sean Longstaff back in the squad. The midfielder is on the bench.
Ange Postecoglou has made two changes to the Spurs side that were beaten here by West Ham on Thursday night.
Son Heung-min is fit enough to start after suffering a back problem in that game. He is joined in the attack by Richarlison, making his first start since the end of October.
Giovani Lo Celso drops to the bench to make way for the Brazil forward.
The other alteration to Spurs’ team is Pape Sarr coming into the midfield in place of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
