Team news

Newcastle head coach Steve Bruce has decisions to make ahead of the trip south.
Full-back Jamal Lewis remains a doubt after suffering a nasty cut above his eye during Sunday's 3-0 home defeat by Brighton, as does striker Allan Saint-Maximin following his premature exit from the same game with an ankle injury.
Defender Ciaran Clark is likely to miss out after damaging a thigh during Wednesday night's 7-0 Carabao Cup demolition of League Two Morecambe, for which Bruce made nine changes.
Defender Fabian Schar is back in light training after a shoulder injury, but keeper Martin Dubravka (ankle), defender Paul Dummett (tendon), midfielder Matty Longstaff (thigh) and striker Dwight Gayle (knee) are still out.
