Vitor Pereira named a strong side in the cup win over Bristol City and now has Matheus Cunha available again, after completing his two-game suspension.

But will the head coach receive a further boost by the return of some key defensive players?

Craig Dawson - 75% chance

The centre-back has been out with a calf strain but will now travel with the team to face Newcastle, alongside some injured team-mates.

"Nelson, Cunha and Dawson will be ready for the match," Pereira said.

"They are coming from injuries and we need to be careful about minutes they can play, but we need players with quality."

Nelson Semedo - 75% chance

Club captain Semedo has been missing with a hamstring injury but, as Pereira explained, is now set to be with the squad.

Whether he starts the game, remains to be seen.
