NEWCASTLE
Newcastle subs (from): Krul, Lua-Lua, Khizanishvili, Guthrie, Harewood, Ranger, Donaldson, Vuckic.
Ipswich subs (from): Lee-Barrett, Stead, Trotter, Balkestein, Priskin, Peters, Colback.
NEWCASTLE: Marlon Harewood goes straight into the squad following his loan move from Aston Villa. The striker is likely to be on the bench, meaning that Andy Carroll will start up front on his own. Joey Barton's foot injury has worsened and he will be missing, while Shola Ameobi is still out with a stress fracture of the foot.
Suspensions: None
Injuries: Ameobi (foot), Barton (foot), Simpson (ankle), Gutierrez (hamstring), Kadar (knee).
Leading league scorer: Ameobi 4
Last five League games: WLWWW
Next game: QPR (h), 30/9
IPSWICH: Roy Keane has reported a clean bill of health and is likely to name the same team that drew 3-3 at Doncaster, where Ipswich were unfortunate not to win. That means Sunderland fan Grant Leadbitter and his former Black Cats team-mate will start against their old rivals.
Suspensions: None
Injuries: None
Leading league scorer: Walters 3
Last five League games: DDLDL
Key player: Jon Walters - has been Keane's best player this season.
Last season: N/A
Head to head: Newcastle 15, Ipswich 16, Draws 14
Referee: Mike Jones (Chester) G5 Y14 R0 Av:2.96
Last Newcastle game: v Man City (a) 28/1/09, 2-1, Y3 R0
Odds: H 9/5; A6/5; D2/1
It's a fact: Ipswich have only won one of their last nine matches against the Magpies since 1992.
Comment by Paul Fraser: Ipswich are desperate for a first victory of the season, which could prevent Newcastle from winning at Portman Road.
Prediction: 1-1
