Gael Bigirimana starts for Newcastle United this evening as does Gabriel Obertan, who makes his first start of the season and Chiek Tiote, who returns from a one match ban. Manager Alan Pardew has named a relatively inexperienced bench with defender Remie Streete coming up from the reserves to sit alongside James Tavernier, Shane Ferguson and Mehdi Abeid. 18 year old Streete is back from an ankle injury and travelled to Old Trafford for Boxing Day but wasn't named on the bench.
