Nottingham Forest will hand a late fitness test to defender Wes Morgan ahead of the trip to Derby County.
Morgan picked up a knock during Tuesday night's 5-0 win over Queens Park Rangers and is the only doubt for boss Billy Davies going into the clash against the Rams.
Forest are again without Nicky Shorey who has returned to Aston Villa following his loan spell so Newcastle target James Perch will continue to deputise at left-back.
