Newcastle United will be looking to go four games unbeaten when they take on Hull City at St James' Park in the Premier League on Saturday.
Alan Pardew's men have drawn one and won two of their last three matches, including last weekend's 2-1 victory at Aston Villa.
Hull have taken four points from as many Premier League matches and drew 1-1 with Cardiff City last time out.
Newcastle defender Ryan Taylor will miss the match with a knee injury, while Mike Williamson and Jonas Gutierrez will still be out of action after missing the victory over Villa.
Manager Alan Pardew is expected to name the same XI, with Yohan Cabaye retaining his place in attacking midfield.
For Hull, midfielder Robert Koren has been ruled out for five weeks with a broken foot, so Stephen Quinn is expected to deputise.
Yannick Sagbo is available following his three-match ban and he could be brought into the starting XI at the expense of Danny Graham, who has gone 20 league matches without scoring.
