Will Osula, Nick Woltemade, Sven Botman and Joe Willock all start at St. James' Park, with Anthony Gordon, Joelinton and Dan Burn dropping to the bench. Jacob Ramsey misses out this evening due to suspension.

Aaron Ramsdale continues in-between the sticks following an impressive showing in Wednesday's Premier League victory against Manchester United.

Kieran Trippier captains the hosts while Botman partners Malick Thiaw in central defence. Lewis Hall, on target in last month's league defeat against Man City, starts at left-back.

Sandro Tonali, who reached a century of competitive outings for the Magpies in last week's clash against Everton, will be situated in the middle of the park alongside Joe Willock.

Anthony Elanga and Harvey Barnes, who have both scored in respective fixtures against Man City this season, are likely to occupy the respective wings while Nick Woltemade has recovered from an illness, which saw the Germany international miss Wednesday's clash against Man United, to start the cup tie.

Osula, who netted a dramatic late winner against Man United on Wednesday, has been handed his fifth start of the season in all competitions.

Tino Livramento has been named on the substitutes' bench and should the 23-year-old right-back feature this evening, will make his 100th club appearance.

Yoane Wissa, Jacob Murphy, Sean Neave and Alex Murphy can be deployed from the bench if required while Nick Pope is the substitute goalkeeper.
