Newcastle
Danny Guthrie, Cheik Tiote and Leon Best should all be back in contention to face Stoke, with James Perch slightly more doubtful. With the Ivorian back in the side Newcastle could, however, play a 4-3-3 once again.
Pardew's only change to the side that beat Bolton nearly two months ago could therefore see Tiote replace Perch in the heart of the midfield, reverting to a flat 4-4-2 last time out.
Probable lineups : Krul, Santon, Coloccini, Williamson, Simpson, Gutiérrez, Tioté, Cabaye, Ba, Cissé, Arfa. (4-3-3).
Stoke
Andy Wilkinson is back in contention for Stoke, though Jermaine Pennant is a doubt for the trip to Newcastle with a virus. Fit again Glenn Whelan will, however, hope to replace Palacios in midfield.
After a rest against Villa last time out, Crouch should return in place of Kenwyne Jones, though the rest of the side may remain unchanged.
Probable lineups : Begovic, Shotton, Huth, Shawcross, Wilson, Delap, Whitehead, Whelan, Etherington, Crouch, Walters. (4-4-2).
