Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has confirmed that Sammy Ameobi will make his starting XI, along with Northern Ireland international Shane Ferguson - another youngster looking to make a positive impression in the senior side. Pardew said: "They are two players, I think, who can affect the first-team at this football club and take us forward as a club. "It is a big game for them and they are training very, very well. We hope to see some fine performances from those two in particular tomorrow."
