West Brom are expected to remain without the ill Grady Diangana for their third game in eight days.
Newcastle pair Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almiron are out until April after they suffered respective groin and knee injures last weekend.
Callum Wilson is also sidelined, while Federico Fernandez, Isaac Hayden and Emil Krafth are being assessed.
Matt Ritchie is in contention to play after apologising to boss Steve Bruce following their row last week.
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
I can't see this one being a thriller because both sides usually focus on making themselves hard to beat.
