Steve Bruce's side trained on Monday morning before travelling to the West Midlands for their Emirates FA Cup fifth round clash with West Bromwich Albion.
United could book a place in the quarter-finals of the competition with victory at the Hawthorns - and, with no replays at this stage of the cup, the players did practise penalties at their Benton base.
Dwight Gayle spent last season on loan with the Baggies, and will be hoping to keep his place up front after starting against Burnley at the weekend, but Yoshinori Muto is pushing for his first appearance since he was hurt against Rochdale in the third round in January while Joelinton could revert to a more central role, having scored twice in this competition this term.
Karl Darlow is likely to get another opportunity in goal. Serena Taylor brought nufc.co.uk this gallery.
