NEWCASTLE UNITED: Mark Viduka is expected to be included in the squad for the first time since being replaced in the Magpies 1-0 loss at Bolton last month. Obafemi Martins remains a major doubt for the match with a groin problem, while full-back Jose Enrique is struggling with a knee injury which kept him out of last Saturday's 1-1 draw at Stoke.
