Newcastle United have made two changes to their starting XI for today's home clash with Swansea City.

Midfielder Jonas Gutierrez has been recalled after he was not included against Tottenham Hotspur last week for falling out with manager John Carver.

He replaces Mehdi Abeid, while striker Emmanuel Riviere starts in place of Yoan Gouffran.

Swansea have also made two changes to their side as Wayne Routledge is ruled out for the rest of the season through injury.

Nathan Dyer takes his place on the wing, while Ki Sung-young is replaced by Jefferson Montero.
