Joe Willock is expected to miss out for Newcastle after limping out of their Carabao Cup fixture against Nottingham Forest in midweek.
Callum Wilson is also out, but Sandro Tonali returned from a 10-month ban in midweek and looks set to make his top-flight return on Sunday.

Darren Bond will be the fourth official, with Stuart Attwell and assistant Natalie Aspinall on VAR duties.
What colours will the teams be playing in?
Newcastle will wear their familiar black and white striped shirts with black shorts and black and white socks on Sunday.
That means we’ll be in our away kit for the first time this season, featuring light blue shirts with two-tone stripes along with light blue shorts and socks.
Newcastle’s goalkeeper will play in dark green, with ours in yellow.
What will the weather conditions be like?
It’s expected to stay dry for the game on Sunday although there’ll be light cloud and a gentle breeze, with temperatures at around 17 degrees.
