Eddie Howe is having a headache with the defense problem when Jamaal Lascelles, Sven Botman and Lewis Hall are all unable to play.

Newcastle are therefore likely to retain the same back four that played against Liverpool, with Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn and Tino Livramento starting on Wednesday.

Up front, Anthony Gordon is recovering from a hip injury and could be out for a few weeks, leaving Alexander Isak to be supported by Harvey Barnes and Jacob Murphy on the flanks.

For Brentford, several attacking players will be absent for the trip to St James' Park, including Gustavo Gomes, Fabio Carvalho, Igor Thiago and Joshua Dasilva.

Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa are certain to start up front, possibly alongside Mikkel Damsgaard and Kevin Schade.

In defence, Kristoffer Ajer, Nathan Collins, Ethan Pinnock and Keane Lewis-Potter started the win over Bournemouth. With Aaron Hickey and Michael Kayode out of the squad, the quartet are likely to continue.
