Captain Bruno Guimaraes starts as Newcastle United make five changes for the visit of Brentford.
The influential Brazilian missed Newcastle’s previous four games with an ankle injury, but is fit enough to start at St James’ Park alongside the recalled Nick Pope, Jacob Murphy, Harvey Barnes and Yoane Wissa.
Wissa faces his former club for the first time since pushing to join Newcastle last summer.
Newcastle starting line-up: Pope, Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Hall, Guimaraes, Tonali, Willock, Murphy, Wissa, Barnes
Subs: Ramsdale, Osula, Elanga, Woltemade, Burn, A.Murphy, Ramsey, Shahar, Neave
Keane Lewis-Potter comes in for the suspended Kevin Schade as Brentford make just one change
The winger makes his first league start in a month after Schade was sent off in his side’s 1-0 win against Aston Villa last time out.
Skipper Nathan Collins stays on the bench after suffering a knock in training last week.
Brentford starting line-up: Kelleher, Kayode, Ajer, van den Berg, Henry, Henderson, Yanelt, Jensen, Lewis-Potter, Thiago, Ouattara
Subs: Valdimarsson, Hickey, Pinnock, Nelson, Yarmoliuk, Collins, Damsgaard, Donovan, Furo
