Preview:

Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi is pushing for a start after scoring twice in Wednesday's league cup win at Chelsea.

But the Magpies face three months without goalkeeper Steve Harper (shoulder), so Tim Krul will start in goal in what will be his first Premier League start for the club.

Stoke travel to Tyneside with doubts over winger Jermaine Pennant (hamstring).

But Potters boss Tony Pulis will likely recall goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen and midfielder Rory Delap who were both rested for the Carling Cup game in midweek.
