Newcastle United PREDICTED XI (And Score) Vs Northampton Town

2. Right Back - Daryl Janmaat (Man Utd Rating - N/A)

The Dutchman had the weekend off following his red card against Swansea so will be fresh as a daisy and keen to make amends on Tuesday. Steve McClaren has stressed that he will pick the strongest line-up possible - within reason. Speaking in his pre-match press conference, the 54-year-old said: €œWe€™ll be putting our strongest team possible out, taking into account what happened on Saturday, taking into account there€™s a game next Saturday, taking into account that we have got a very good squad. €œBut tomorrow night€™s team is strong enough and good enough to win the game." And considering he's had nine days off, and the lack of options Steve has at right back, Janmaat will play.

3. Left Back - Paul Dummett (Man Utd Rating - N/A)

The Geordie Welshman resumed full training just three short days ago so there is a big doubt next to Paul Dummett's name... It's a toss of a coin really between Newcastle's new number three and Massadio Haidara, who has enjoyed a decent - if not exhausting - start to the new Barclays Premier League season. Nevertheless, a home tie against a League 2 side is a very nice game for a player that has been out for a while on the sidelines before the match fit Frenchman could resume his place for the visit of Arsenal this weekend.
