Carlisle turned his right ankle in training this week and is now wearing a pot as protection, suggesting he is unlikely to play. Striker David Nugent sat out training today as he is nursing a tight hamstring that saw him miss Saturday's defeat at Sunderland, but is scheduled to train tomorrow and should figure against Rafael Benitez's side. Clarets (from): Jensen, Mears, Duff, Cort, Caldwell, Fox, Alexander, Elliott, McDonald, Nugent, Fletcher, Blake, Paterson, Eagles, Thompson, Bikey, Cork, Carlisle, Jordan, Weaver, Nimani, Rodriguez.
