Team News
Newcastle are still without Tim Krul and Fabricio Coloccini while Mathieu Debuchy and Yoann Gouffran who both started at the weekend cant play due to being ineligible. There was hope Hatem Ben Arfa would be available but he isnt being risked due to his on-going hamstring issues. However Shola Ameobi, who missed out on Sunday should be fit to play some part against the Russians. Pardew has pledged to put out a strong side and the likes of Cabaye, Cisse and Tiote could all start while Marveauxs impressive cameo v Stoke could earn him a place in the starting XI Anzhi will have midfielder Mbark Boussoufa available after he missed the first leg due to suspension but the Russian side will be without Willian, the Brazilian went off during the first leg and hasnt recovered to face Newcastle this time around. Former Barcelona star Samuel Etoo should lead the line. Source:
