Eddie Howe must decide whether to bench Allan Saint-Maximin ahead of his anticipated return against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Newcastle have collected four points without the flying French winger and both Ryan Fraser and Jacob Murphy did enough to merit starts when the Seagulls swoop into St James' Park next Saturday.
Saint-Maximin was not with the squad at Brentford after spending last week in France getting "rehab" for a calf injury.
