Select your Newcastle United XI to face Brentford at St James' Park

Newcastle United look set to welcome back Allan Saint-Maximin back to their match day squad for their weekend clash against Brentford.

The French winger has been out of action since the end of August with a hamstring injury he picked up following the Magpies 1-1 draw with Wolves, which saw Saint-Maximin score a sensational injury time equaliser for Eddie Howe's side.

It also appears as though Brazilian midfielder Joelinton will be fit to feature against the Bees this weekend after overcoming a knee injury that saw him drop to the bench in Newcastle's recent 4-1 win over Fulham.

The return of two key players for Howe will almost certainly bolster the Magpies chances on Saturday afternoon against a Brentford side who can cause anyone problems on their day.

But will Howe give the duo a starting berth against the Bees? Or will he opt to give the likes of Sean Longstaff and Jacob Murphy another chance to impress following last weekends win over Fulham?
