Newcastle boss Bobby Robson has a welcomed selection dilemma ahead of his side's top of the table clash at Leeds this afternoon.

Robert Lee and Clarence Acuna are both fit and ready to return. Robson must decide whether to keep faith with the same team that did so well against Arsenal on Tuesday night, or bring the new men back in.

The pairing of Kieron Dyer and Gary Speed in the middle of the field did so well on Tuesday night, but two games in 5 days for Dyer, maybe a bridge to far.

Robert Laurent is also back in contention and is likely to return instead of Olivier Bernard. Yet with Robert suspended from the boxing day clash with Boro, Robson may decide continuity is the best option.

Newcastle likely starting line-up: Given, Hughes, O'Brien, Dabizas, Elliott, Solano, Speed, Dyer, Robert, Shearer, Bellamy.
