Substitutes: Bayındır, Dalot, Heaven, Kukonki, Malacia, T.Fletcher, Ugarte, Amad, Zirkzee.
Michael Carrick has named his team to face the Magpies at St James' Park in tonight's 20:15 GMT kick-off.
The head coach makes just one change to the XI that faced Crystal Palace at the weekend, with Noussair Mazraoui handed his first start under Carras in place of Diogo Dalot.
Elsewhere, Godwill Kukonki earns a spot on the bench for the second time this season, replacing Jack Moorhouse.

Didn’t expect Mazra to start in place of the other full back today!
Mazraoui is start
not even the Greek feds can stop our Slab
I like that he saw fit to play Maz over Dalot, who had a shocker last time out. He was very strict with his starting team for first number of games, but good to see he’s making changes now when performance dictates it
Maz can whip some beauties into Air Sesko
Looks good. Curious about how long Case will play for, as he is the backbone of the team
Let’s have it, fuck the barcodes!
dalot dropped to the bench
Very happy with this starting XI. Let’s see how Mazraoui performs as a starter in this system under Carrick.
generally happy with this, but Yoro needs to be significantly better than last time out
Positive change benching Dalot. Lets see how it goes.
Wow, I expected Maz for Shaw. Shaw being available is a welcome surprise.
No complaints at all with that
Sesko goal to rattle them please and thank you
Air Sesko is a go again, I repeat Air Sesko has taken off, beware any magpies in the sky.
Sesko to keep the streak going
Maz start 💪🏽
Not the change I was expecting but I think Maz was eventually gonna shift Dalot anyway, who was very poor in the palace game
Good to see Shaw wasn’t injured long term
Mazraoui start is so beautiful,
Sesko start is also fantastic. Didn’t know if Carrick would trust him to start against Burn.
Barcodes are utter shit but they always stop Haaland. Need to see Big Ben get his first hat trick on their heads.
Shaw not immediately out of a match following an injury substitution!? Blimey, it must be an international tournament season
Proactive from Carrick; we always get 3-4 good/ok games in a row from Dalot before he gives us a stinker and today was lining up to be that.
Shaw fit is so massive
For some reason I started reading it as a back 5. The scars are not healed yet😂
