Eddie Howe recalls Jamal Lewis to Newcastle United's starting XI and brings Federico Fernandez in from the cold


The left-back comes into Eddie Howe’s side in place of the suspended Matt Ritchie for the relegation-threatened club’s game against Norwich City, his former team, tonight.
Howe – who will be in the dugout at home for the first time as United head coach – is also with Jamaal Lascelles through suspension. Ciaran Clark and Javier Manquillo also come into the starting XI, and Callum Wilson will captain the team in the absence of Lascelles.
