United head coach Howe said: “The two Joes are a bit of a doubt for us. Joelinton took a knock, I think, and Willock looks like he’s got a hamstring injury.”

Howe was without midfielder Sean Longstaff (foot) and winger Jacob Murphy (groin) for the game.

Third-placed Newcastle are one win away from securing Champions League football following the Brighton win.
