Eddie Howe has made four changes from Newcastle’s 0-0 draw with Leicester City which saw them claim a top four spot on Monday night. Martin Dubravka makes his first Premier League start of the season in place of the injured Nick Pope while Matt Targett comes in for Dan Burn at left back.
Allan Saint-Maximin and Anthony Gordon return to the side in place of Sean Longstaff and Callum Wilson.
Newcastle will be looking to end a memorable season on a high with third place still up for grabs. A win for The Magpies and Manchester United dropping points at home to Fulham would guarantee a third place finish.
Several Newcastle players have had their seasons ended prematurely due to injury.
NUFC XI: Dubravka; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Targett; Anderson, Guimaraes, Gordon; Saint-Maximin, Isak, Almiron
Subs: Karius, Gillespie, Dummett, Wilson, Lewis, Murphy, Ashby, Burn, L. Miley
