Eddie Howe puts out a strong team as Newcastle United take on Birmingham City in FA Cup fourth round tie at St Andrews

Newcastle United are on the road again as they take on League One Birmingham City in the FA Cup fourth round. Kick-off is 5:45pm live on BBC One and iPlayer.

Birmingham dropped out of the Championship last season but look set to bounce back at the first time of asking as they sit atop League One with a four-point advantage over second place plus two games in hand.

On paper, it looks like a straightforward win for Newcastle, but it's likely to be anything but.

It seems that Eddie Howe thinks so too as several big stars will take to the field from kick-off today.

Bruno Guimaraes starts for Newcastle

The biggest shock probably comes from the fact that Bruno Guimaraes will start and captain the side as normal. We felt for sure he'd be rested.

Joe Willock, Dan Burn and Sean Longstaff all start as expected, as well as Tino Livramento and Nick Pope giving the side a strong look.

We're keen to see what Lewis Miley and do with another start, and the novelty of seeing both Callum Wilson and Matt Targett on the pitch together will make for interesting viewing.

17-year-old Sean Neave makes the bench

The bench has some big hitters on there in case things aren't going according to plan, although Howe has reverted to using two goalkeepers to fill out the seats.

Teenage sensation Sean Neave makes the bench after his impressive goal-scoring exploits in the reserves this season.

We were surprised not to see Trevan Sanusi in the squad, but at least we have one promising youngster on the bench.

Let's do this!
