Eddie Howe’s side must avoid defeat in order to preserve their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League knockout rounds tonight.
A win for the hosts would see Newcastle eliminated from the competition whilst a draw would leave their fate in the hands of Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan on the night.
Newcastle’s task looks ominous and their ever-growing injury list, one that was added to by Sean Longstaff and Joe Willock at the weekend, means they head to France with a threadbare squad - although they can take lots of hope from their 4-1 win over Chelsea on Saturday.
Here, amid a growing injury list, we take a look at the starting XI Howe could name for his side’s clash with PSG tonight:

10. ST: Alexander Isak
Isak was back in the team and back amongst the goals on Saturday as he proved just how big of a miss he has been over the last few weeks. His quality up top could be the key for a potential Newcastle victory. | Getty Images
