Preview: Newcastle United vs. Norwich City

Newcastle United will be hoping to pick up their third win in a row when Norwich City visit St James' Park on Saturday.

Alan Pardew's side followed up their success over Chelsea by beating Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 before the international break.

Norwich picked up their first win in five outings when they beat West Ham United 3-1 at Carrow Road a fortnight ago.

Pardew is expected to name the same Newcastle side that beat Spurs, which would see Shola Ameobi and Loic Remy continue their partnership up front.

Norwich boss Chris Hughton will be without injured quartet Ricky van Wolfswinkel, Anthony Pilkington, Alexander Tettey and Elliott Bennett.
