The Danish frontman will start for the first time in a black and white shirt in the third round tie on Tyneside as Magpies head coach Eddie Howe rings the changes for the visit of the League Two side.

Howe has made eight alterations to his side following Saturday's 1-1 draw with Manchester City in the Premier League, with only Joelinton, Harvey Barnes and Fabian Schär - who captains United - remaining in the line-up from the weekend clash with the champions.
