Defender Wes Brown could make a first competitive appearance for the club since January last year after finally shaking off the calf problem which has sidelined him since pre-season.
Gus Poyet: "If you need experience and intelligence and players who have played at the highest level in the biggest games, he is one of them, so I wouldn't be too worried on that side.
"It's something that we have been struggling with, the mental side, so mentally, I don't think there could be a better player.
"Now the thing is he needs to be able to compete, of course, and last for 90 minutes, so we will see how he reacts to the last four sessions."

MAGPIES IN EUROPE -
HARVEY TO PARDEW
The official new title is "Magpies In Europe - Harvey To Pardew" and is an up-dated version of "From Antwerp To Zurich" - which includes the 14 Europa League fixtures we played last season.
The 280-page book features match reports from the 134 European matches Newcastle United have played, starting with the memorable 4-0 win over Feyenoord in 1968 on our European debut.
Included are stats and the figures you would expect, but also each away fixture has the remarkable experiences of individuals who travelled to watch the matches.
It is a fascinating history that every Newcastle United fan will enjoy.
And with a limited print-run, make sure you order a copy.
DON'T MISS OUT!
More details will be announced next week, but if you want to order, contact us:- Kevnumad@fsmail.net
