Confirmed Newcastle team v Burnley – Clark, Kenedy, Ki and Schar all start

The Newcastle team v Burnley has just been confirmed.

Rafa Benitez looking to get his third victory in a row.

A win at Turf Moor would take Newcastle United four points clear of the drop zone.

The manager making only the one change.

Ciaran Clark replacing the injured Paul Dummett.

Jonjo Shelvey the only returning from injury player deemed fit enough to return to the squad but only on the bench.

As reported earlier today, Karl Darlow is now out injured.

A real positive to see Freddie Woodman given the chance ahead of Rob Elliot to step up to the bench.

Rafa has named Ciaran Clark as Captain, nothing against Clark but I think Federico Fernandez would have been the perfect choice.

This is who Rafa Benitez starts with:

Dubravka, Yedlin, Schar, Fernandez, Clark, Kenedy, Ritchie, Ki, Diame, Perez, Rondon

The subs:

Woodman, Manquillo, Shelvey, Hayden, Murphy, Atsu, Joselu
