Harvey Barnes makes his first start for Newcastle since his summer arrival from Leicester.

The winger, whose international future has been a hot topic recently, got a goal and an assist on his Newcastle debut against Aston Villa.

Neal Maupay is back at Brentford following his loan move from Everton. The last time that he played for Brentford they were in the Championship. He’s on the bench this evening and will hope to make a major impact if he enters the fray.

Newcastle have just one victory in the league so far this season and have lost three matches.

Brentford, meanwhile, remain unbeaten with one win and three draws.

While Newcastle will inevitably have one eye on the clash with AC Milan, they will be eager to start building some momentum in the league.

Isak, Tonali and Almiron are all on the bench for Newcastle, perhaps with Tuesday’s Champions League game away to AC Milan in mind.
