What is the team news?

Long-term absentees Fraser Forster (foot fracture), Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring) and Manor Solomon (knee) remain sidelined.
Newcastle’s Joe Willock has an Achilles problem and joins the likes of Nick Pope, Joelinton, Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles, Callum Wilson, Tino Livramento, Miguel Almiron, Lewis Miley and Kieran Trippier on the sidelines.
Lewis Hall will be assessed after missing training this week over tightness in his quadricep.

What colours will the teams be playing in?
Newcastle will play in their familiar black-and-white striped shirts, with black shorts and white socks.
We’ll therefore be wearing our ‘taupe haze’ third kit.
The hosts’ goalkeeper will be wearing fluorescent green, with ours wearing light blue.
What will the weather conditions be like?
There’ll be sunny intervals and a moderate breeze in Newcastle on Saturday, with temperatures at around 14 degrees.
