Newcastle come into this one with a mixed run over their last five games: one draw (1-1 with Strasbourg), one win (2-1 away at Valencia) and three defeats, including losses to Bayer Leverkusen (1-2), Everton (1-3) and Bristol City (1-4). West Brom, on the other hand, arrive on five straight wins, the most recent a 2-1 away win at Norwich, on top of victories over Rotherham (4-1), Peterborough (2-0), Shrewsbury (4-1) and Bromley (4-1). The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
