Newcastle will travel to Southampton looking to build on their FA Cup success at West Brom on Tuesday.
The Magpies currently sit in 14th place in the Premier League table, just five points above the drop zone, and are looking to end a run of five games without a win stretching back to January.
A win at St Mary’s would move Newcastle on to 35 points, within touching distance of the traditional safety point 40.
Newcastle are just one place below the Saints and a victory for Steve Bruce’s side could see them leapfrog Southampton in 13th.
