Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce handed Allan Saint-Maximin a start against West Ham at St James' Park.
The Magpies, however, left Callum Wilson on the bench as they erred on the side of caution in their crunch clash with the Hammers.
Saint-Maximin's return meant that Dwight Gayle dropped down to the bench after two successive starts but ultimately no goals from the striker.
Bruce again named Jonjo Shelvey as captain while Sean Longstaff continued in midfield ahead of Joe Willock.
Joelinton got the nod in attack despite a disappointing show at Burnley last week.
Newcastle teams : Dubravka, Murphy, Dummett, Clark, Fernandez, Ritchie, Sean Longstaff, Shelvey, Almiron, Saint-Maximin, Joelinton
Subs: Gillespie, Carroll, Gayle, Wilson, Lewis, Hendrick, Krafth, Manquillo, Willock.
