The Magpies suffered two defeats in their opening two fixtures at home to Tottenham and away at fellow new boys Huddersfield.

But they recovered from their woeful start with a 3-0 win over West Ham before the international break.

And boss Rafa Benitez will be hoping the break has not halted any momentum for his side ahead of a trip to The Liberty tomorrow.

Aleksander Mitrovic will miss Newcastle’s next three matches after being retrospectively banned for an elbow on West Ham midfielder Manuel Lanzini.

As will Chancel Mbemba who is sidelined with a hamstring injury picked up on international duty.
