CC Team Line Ups - Scunthorpe Utd v Newcastle Utd

Alan Pardew has given Sylvain Marveaux his first competitive game as he makes his debut in the Carling Cup alongside, Cabaye and Dan Gosling. Steve Harper isn’t named at all after picking up a knock and is replaced on the bench by Ole Soderberg. Joey Barton was always going to be absent, but the break gives him the opportunity to ponder whether he wants to move to QPR or not.
