Newcastle United travel to Brentford this afternoon as they look to make it seven league matches unbeaten.
However, the Magpies have a number of their main stars unavailable with Callum Wilson, Kieran Trippier, Isaac Hayden and Matt Ritchie all unavailable.
Javier Manquillo, Ryan Fraser and Allan Saint-Maximin may return to the fold, however Eddie Howe has admitted the latter’s inclusion will be a ‘late call’.
Meanwhile, former Newcastle striker Ivan Toney is likely to feature for the Bees after a spell on the sidelines.
Ex-Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen is set to make his Brentford debut and return to the pitch for the first time since featuring for Denmark in the Euros.
