Confirmed line-up: Nick gets the nod in Nottingham | OneFootball

The Germany international's last start came against Sunderland in March, although he had come off the bench in the last three matches.

But he's in from the start at the City Ground in place of Joe Willock, while Lewis Hall makes his 100th appearance in black and white.

Hall, who grew up as a Magpies supporter, will look to mark a century of appearances for his boyhood club with a victory as he replaces Lewis Miley, who will miss the remainder of the season after fracturing his fibula during the week.

It's otherwise the same side which beat Brighton & Hove Albion last time out, with Anthony Elanga among the substitutes against his former club.

Newcastle United: Nick Pope, Lewis Hall, Sven Botman, Joelinton, Sandro Tonali, Malick Thiaw, William Osula, Jacob Murphy, Nick Woltemade, Dan Burn, Bruno Guimarães (c)

Substitutes: Aaron Ramsdale, Kieran Trippier, Yoane Wissa, Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes, Anthony Elanga, Joe Willock, Alex Murphy, Jacob Ramsey
