Cisse to miss City trip

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is likely to be without striker Papiss Cisse once again for the Capital One Cup fourth-round trip to Manchester City.

He missed out on the 2-1 win over Tottenham with a knee injury and his return date is not yet clear.

Ayoze Perez should continue in his place, while Sammy Ameobi and Remy Cabella made compelling cases from the bench against Spurs, and Ryan Taylor could make his first appearance after enduring more than two years of injury woe.

Provisional squad: Krul, Elliot, Janmaat, Dummett, Haidara, R Taylor, Coloccini, Williamson, S Taylor, Tiote, Anita, Sissoko, Colback, Cabella, Gouffran, Obertan, Ameobi, Riviere, Perez, Armstrong.
