' NEIL WARNOCK INJURY UPDATE FOR TONIGHTS GAME '
Neil Warnock's men will want to prove they are promotion candidates for next season with an impressive performance against Rafa Benitez's side.
Cardiff City Centre-back Sol Bamba will miss the clash along with long-term absentee Rhys Healey, but Warnock is set to be boosted by the return of the likes of goalkeeper Allan McGregor and star striker Kenneth Zohore who both missed the 0-0 draw with Wigan at the DW Stadium through illness.
A crowd of over 20,000 is expected including 5,000 Newcastle fans
