Crystal Palace defender Chris Richards is again expected to deputise for the injured Joachim Andersen on Saturday.
Newcastle will be without midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, who hurt his ankle during the victory over Fulham last weekend.
Striker Chris Wood has joined Nottingham Forest, while long-term injured trio Jonjo Shelvey, Matt Targett and Emil Krafth remain out.
CHRIS SUTTON'S PREDICTION
Newcastle were a bit fortunate on Sunday, when Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic slipped to miskick his penalty with the score at 0-0 before the Magpies nicked it late on.
It is things like that which make you think it is going to be their season, in terms of a top-four finish, especially when you consider how strong they are defensively.
