The Newcastle team v Barnsley has just been announced.

Rafa Benitez makes three changes to the team that beat Cardiff 2-0.

Shelvey, Gouffran and Mitrovic, replace Clark, Diame and Murphy.

The big surprise though is that Isaac Hayden plays centre-back, Ciaran Clark not available and with Hanley & Lascelles also out, Hayden partners Mbemba.

Newcastle United:

Elliot, Yedlin, Mbemba, Hayden, Dummett, Shelvey, Colback, Atsu, Gouffran, Perez, Mitrovic

Subs:

Darlow, Anita, Haidara, Lazaar, Diame, Murphy, Gayle
