Anthony Gordon only makes the bench as Newcastle United make three changes for the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie against Barcelona. The forward, who has scored ten goals in the competition, is not fit enough to start so William Osula leads the line tonight.

Ronald Araujo, Pedri, Fermin Lopez and Robert Lewandowski also return to the starting line-up. Barcelona XI: J. Garcia, Cancelo, Araujo, Cubarsi, Martin, Pedri, Bernal, Yamal, Lopez, Raphinha, LewandowskiSubs: Szczesny, Ferran, Rashford, Casado, Roony, Olmo, Eric, Kochen, Cortes, Xavi Espart, Tommy
