The winger, who started the season with two goals in the opening two league matches, suffered a hamstring injury in September.

He's made substitute appearances in the last two games, at Crystal Palace and Everton in the Carabao Cup, but makes his first start in almost two months here, coming in for Jacob Murphy. It's also his 150th Premier League appearance.

Meanwhile, Joelinton replaces Jacob Ramsey in the side as Matthias Jaissle makes two changes.

Harvey Barnes makes his 100th Premier League appearance for Newcastle and is one goal away from his 100th career goal. He's been involved in seven goals in his last 12 top-flight appearances (four goals, three assists) including five in his last six on Tyneside.
