Martins To Warm The Bench!
Martins has returned to light training following a knee cartilage injury, but has missed the last five Premier League matches, and will not be risked from the start.
It is thought Damien Duff is likely to partner Shola Ameobi up front.
Habib Beye is available again following a four-game lay-off.
Newcastle are expected to start with .... Given, Beye, Taylor, Coloccini, Enrique, Geremi, Butt, Guthrie, N'Zogbia, Ameobi, Duff.
