And versatile defender DeAndre Yedlin could make his full debut for the club in place of Gouffran, who scored in Saturday's 2-0 win over Derby County.

Striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is also hoping to start at Loftus Road, having been a spectator so far this season.

Meanwhile, United manager Rafa Benitez has revealed how he wants to go down in Newcastle history – just like Alan Shearer.
