Head coach Steve Bruce has made three changes from the side with drew 1-1 with Wolves last weekend, with Miguel Almirón and Allan Saint-Maximin missing out through injury and Jamal Lewis dropping to the bench.

That means that Dummett is handed a start in defence, with Hendrick restored to the United midfield and Fraser tasked with supplying the ammunition for frontman Joelinton.

Martin Dúbravka starts in goal, with Emil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles, Ciaran Clark and Paul Dummett forming a back four.

Isaac Hayden partners Jonjo Shelvey in the middle of the park, with Hendrick and Arsenal loanee Joe Willock also in the engine room.

And further forward, Fraser and Joelinton will look to get the Magpies on the front foot against Sam Allardyce’s men at The Hawthorns.

There are plenty of attacking options on the Newcastle bench, with Andy Carroll, Dwight Gayle and Jacob Murphy all named.

Federico Fernández is fit enough to be named as a substitute along with Lewis, Karl Darlow, Javier Manquillo and Matt Ritchie.

And Sean Longstaff completes the list of players available for Bruce to call upon from the sidelines.

Newcastle United: Martin Dúbravka; Emil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles, Ciaran Clark, Paul Dummett; Isaac Hayden, Jonjo Shelvey, Jeff Hendrick, Joe Willock; Ryan Fraser, Joelinton.

Substitutes: Karl Darlow, Javier Manquillo, Federico Fernández, Jamal Lewis, Sean Longstaff, Matt Ritchie, Jacob Murphy,
