Matthias Jaissle made four changes to his side for the trip to the capital, with Malick Thiaw, Sean Steur, Jacob Murphy and Yoane Wissa coming into the line-up.

Centre half Thiaw was called into action early on to hack away a dangerous cross from Oscar Bobb as Álvaro Arbeloa's men threatened first, though Amar Dedić's willing running down the right was a useful outlet for the Magpies, who are looking to return to winning ways after back-to-back defeats to Everton.
