Newcastle have failed to win in their last 10 league games but a win for Alan Shearer's side tomorrow would move them just outside the bottom three, whilst Middlesbrough travel in the knowledge that a defeat would be a club record of eleven successive league defeats away from home.
Shearer has several players unavailable tomorrow, including Joey Barton who was red carded against Liverpool and then suspended by Shearer. Jose Enrique continues to struggle with a hamstring injury and Alan Smith who has just returned from injury only has a 50% chance of playing after picking up a thigh problem last weekend.
Steven Taylor has resumed training this week after recovering from an ankle injury and could feature whilst Obafemi Martins will play a part despite requiring groin surgery at the end of the season.
Alan Shearer is likely to recall Michael Owen to the starting line-up and opt for a three man attack alongside Mark Viduka and Martins.
Gareth Southgate will be without Emanuel Pogatetz who has a knee injury and Chris Riggott who has an ankle problem, but he will welcome back Andrew Taylor who has recovered from a hip injury.

My personal belief is we need Gutierrez and lovenkrands on both wings. They can run at defenders and can create chances. Nicky Butt should also play. In Attack Owen, Viduka, Martins, and in defence, Bassong, Steven Taylor, Ryan taylor, and dare i say (coloccini: i really feel he has bee a weak point in our defense). At the 60th minute substitute Viduka for Carroll and Owen/Martin for a midfielder preferrably Guthrie (hopefully we have had several goals by then

No one in here said Butt is our best player. Christ, he makes too many mistakes with the ball. He cannot even pass the ball in a direct manner. Very painful to watch. I see the explanation that annie and senyabtoon have laid forward and i get it. Since they are coming to win they have to play us. But we need the win too. Now imagine we still had Milner and Nzogbia. Men we would have options. But all the same 442 with 2 wingers lovenkrands and Gutierrez, Guthrie and Butt. The game is too risky to bring Donninger in in my opinion. We go with experience
