Anthony Pilkington has stepped in to cover for Jonas Gutierrez as Norwich City welcome Newcastle United in the Premier League this evening.

The rest of the hosts' midfield is comprised of Bradley Johnson, Leroy Fer and Robert Snodgrass, who will be looking to provide chances for strikers Ricky van Wolfswinkel and Gary Hooper.
