The club's new manager will be in the dugout at the King Power Stadium for the relegation-threatened club's game against Leicester City (8pm kick-off).

Benitez has overseen just three training sessions since succeeding Steve McClaren on Friday.

Newcastle are 19th in the Premier League and a point adrift of safety.

Leaders Leicester, meanwhile, are looking to go eight points clear at the top of the division.
