Newcastle will welcome back striker Andy Carroll when they travel to Blackpool aiming to protect their unbeaten start to the season.
Carroll has missed the last four games with a groin problem but is now fit again, much to the surprise of caretaker manager Chris Hughton.
"In all honesty we thought the game would be too soon for him, but he has had two good sessions and is in the squad," he told the club's official website.
Meanwhile, Shola Ameobi is still recovering from his injured foot and will play no part and Alan Smith, who was sent off in the closing stages of Sunday's 1-0 win at Cardiff, must serve a one-match ban.
Nicky Butt will be pushing for a start after he could only make the bench against the Bluebirds following a dislocated thumb, while Peter Lovenkrands will also hope for a starting berth after featuring from the bench in recent weeks.

And you still all believe keegan is the messiah and you didnt even win anything with him hahahahahaha and you call me a crackhead......
This is a message board not an enlgish exam think your all on crack if you believe newcastle have achieved anything in the past 10yrs or just in the past. Just think where you would be if your football club was run properly like ours we are an example to you all!!!!!
And its all gone quiet over here, and its all gone quiet over here and its all gone quiet all gone quiet all gone quiet over here Blackpool 2-1 Newcastle hahaha BIG CLUB hahahahahahaha
By Luke W your English Language needs urgently looking at. If I had not read your other comments I think that I would of classified you as a rambling old idiot but I see that you are definately one of the "Lines Men" (Crack). Sniff Sniff Luke W
C'mon the Toon! Shame Smithys out but at least Butts back. I fancy a goal from Carroll and maybe a Cheeky one from Lovenkrands 0- 2 the TOON and back on top!! Cant wait for KIck Off.. we all love the Yellow Peril!!
And david A sweet, sticky n and hell of a mess??? sounds a bit gay u @#$%
Bad luck continue??? Its all good on the seaside rather be 13th than 23rd. No i wasnt even alive 1953 i was jus pointing out that for a such a "big club" like you are your no that much more sucessful than the "nothing club" like you say we are and you have to go back to 1969 as someone pointed out i also wasnt alive then.... You are only a big club because of you attendance nothing else. You have achieved as much as any "nothing club" surely u must agree for a club of your size you have underachieved for many years this is a fair point.
What an unlucky number to in the table at Luke W. Long may your bad luck continue. Hey Luke fancy remembering your event in 1953 you will be telling us next that you used to play darts in the Bloomfield Club with Stanley Matthews next, still old crack heads never die.
Luke W you are begining to sound like a stick of Blackpool Rock. Sweet, Sticky and hell of a mess. Try and find something else to do with your time instead of firing blanks on our forum. Maybe throwing yourself off the big dipper may be a sugestion.
Truth hurts ay Newcastle fans

be quiet man -
you are embarrassing yourself, and the good name of your club and its supporters; oh and for your information, Newcastle United won the Fairs Cup (now called the UEFA Cup) in 1969.
Your club is big and is still nothing... like i said if we had your money we would be playing champions league football this season now jog on go beat your mrs and drown your sorrows
yea a think you maybe right newcastle are scared of blackpool lol.your club aint even small its nothing i cant even believe yous have a club go and ride a donkey on the beach theres a good lad.
You all just scared of us cause with all the big grounds and signing you make you still cant keep us down and preston are the perfect example one nil, we beat the scum one nil, we beat the scum one nil, we beat the scum one nil Just think all the money you wasted on Owens wages alone last season you could have bought our club and then you could have something to be proud of instead of been the joke of football
luke stop talking @#$% and go ride the ghost train.newcastle are a huge club.i cant take you for real even preston north end think your a joke.your grounds @#$% just like your club.toon toon.
We won the FA Cup in 1953 when was the last time you won a major trophy?? If we had the fan base and money newcastle have we wouldnt be in the championship... so yeah you are massive underachievers we have little money average attendance of 8000 and we are in the same league as you. In the last few years weve won the LDV twice at cardiff, League two playoffs at cardiff, league one playoffs at wembley and i think you would struggle to find a smaller club higher up than us in England big achievements what have you done?? survived a few seasons then got relagated joke for such a "big club" most big clubs have won something tho...
luke w ....underacheivers??? your such a big club then. what the hell have Blackpool acheived?
if you want to post...make sense.
SHAUN: I think every team that plays the Toon will be `up for it`. Just the name Newcastle United will be all they need to up their game.
I was going to say 1-0 to the Toon, but I reckon 2-0.
Cant wait for tonight, play as we know we can pool and lets beat these underachievers got to take are chances tho!
come on the toon.so what were in the champoionship its only for 1season lets treat it as a holiday sunderland fans laughing at the teams were now playing. the sad mackem scum played teams like this for years when we was in the premiership the daft mackem tramps.they must love take that concerts only time the grounds full lmao.could of bin born a mackem remember the song it cheers me up.toon toon.
