The Magpies lost 2-1 here less than 24 hours ago but Jaissle has split his squad, meaning St. James' bows for new signings Ewen Jaouen, Aladji Bamba and Bazoumana Touré.

Fabian Schär returns after he was injured against Bristol City last month while Dan Burn captains the team. He was confirmed as skipper for the season on Saturday.

With Jaouen in goal, youngsters Leo Shahar and Dylan Charlton occupy the full-back berths and Burn partners Schär in central defence.

Bamba, Joe Willock and Jacob Ramsey are in midfield with Jacob Murphy and Touré on the flanks. William Osula leads the line.

Rory Finneran - who played the whole of the second half against Leverkusen - is on the bench along with Miodrag Pivaš, Trevan Sanusi, Henry Johnson, Rory Finneran and Sean Neave. Mark Gillespie is the substitute goalkeeper.
