Steve Bruce named a strong side to play West Bromwich Albion in the fifth round of the FA Cup at the Hawthorns.
The Toon boss switched his goalkeeper to hand Karl Darlow a chance between the posts while there was a start for Allan Saint-Maximin despite injury problems last week.
Bruce also welcomed back Valentino Lazaro after his one-match ban while Sean Longstaff and Nabil Bentaleb returned to the midfield.
Miguel Almiron started the game in the number 10 role, while Joelinton was back as a central striker.
But Dwight Gayle - on his return to the club in which he scored 24 goals for last season - was only on the bench.
Notably, there was no place at all for Isaac Hayden, who did not travel to the Hawthorns.
West Brom made a host of changes as they focus on promotion from the Championship.
UNITED : Darlow, Manquillo, Schar, Lascelles, Rose, Bentaleb, S Longstaff, Lazaro, Almiron, Saint-Maximin, Joelinton
Subs: Elliot, Shelvey, Ritchie, Gayle, Lejeune, Yedlin, M Longstaff
