The Teams Are In

Posted on: Wed 16 Jan 2008

Tony Pulis has handed Jon Parkin a start against Premiership giants Newcastle United in tonight's FA Cup Third Round replay.

The former Hull man comes in for Carl Dickinson, who drops to the bench with Danny Pugh moving back to occupy the left back slot.

Richard Cresswell drops back in to midfield to make way for Parkin, while Gabriel Zakuani starts at right back after Andy Wilkinson failed to recover from a groin strain.

Salif Diao is named in the squad for the first time following his move back to the Potters towards the end of last year.

Newcastle appointed Kevin Keegan as new manager hours before kick off, and all tickets for the clash were soon snapped up to make the game a sell out.

(The kick-off time is now 8.00pm)
