Wilson and Saint-Maximin to return? Pick your Newcastle United XI to face Burnley

Steve Bruce could recall Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson for Newcastle United's crucial clash at Burnley.

The Magpies have been handed a huge opportunity to open up a six-point gap to the relegation zone following Fulham's defeat to Wolves.

Scott Parker's side could have climbed out of the relegation zone on Friday night, but Adama Traore's injury-time winner has handed the initiative to United.

Newcastle have two games in hand over their relegation rivals, and will face Burnley and West Ham before Fulham's next fixture at Arsenal.

The Magpies will also be boosted by the expected return of influential attackers Wilson and Saint-Maximin from injury.

However, captain Jamaal Lascelles could miss the rest of the season with a stress fracture, joining Isaac Hayden and Fabian Schar on the long-term absentee list.

Ryan Fraser will again miss out with a groin injury, while Andy Carroll is also considered a doubt for the trip to Turf Moor.

So how should Newcastle line-up for the Sunday lunchtime kick-off?

Should Bruce stick with the formation and players who impressed in last weekend's draw with Tottenham?

Do Wilson and Saint-Maximin comes straight into the starting eleven, and who gets the nod to replace Lascelles in defence.

Let us know by selecting your Magpies' XI in the team selector tool above.
