Newcastle United starting line-up: Woodman; Manquillo, Lascelles, Clark, Dummett; Ritchie, Shelvey, Merino, Murphy; Perez; Gayle.

Newcastle United kick off their FA Cup campaign this afternoon as they host Luton Town in the third round of the competition at St. James’ Park.
The Magpies head into the game having beaten Stoke City 1-0 in their last outing, and manager Rafael Benitez will hope to keep the momentum going today.
Benitez has handed a start to youngster Freddie Woodman, with the goalkeeper coming in between the sticks for his Newcastle debut.
Javier Manquillo, Jamaal Lascelles, Ciaran Clark and Paul Dummett feature across defence, with Mikel Merino and Jonjo Shelvey in front of the back four.
Matt Ritchie and Jacob Murphy start out wide, whilst Ayoze Perez will support lone striker Dwight Gayle in attack this afternoon.
With Woodman starting in goal, Karl Darlow is on the bench, alongside Massadio Haidara, Isaac Hayden, Mohamed Diame, Henri Saivet, Rolando Aarons and Joselu as they look to avoid a shock against League Two outfit Luton.
