Kewell missed Saturday's game against Norwich with a slight thigh strain but has now recovered. However, the form of Stephen Warnock means Kewell may not regain his first team place. Manager Rafael Benitez will not make his decision until just before kick off.

"Hopefully he is okay now," said Benitez. "He's not 100 per cent but if I want to play him then he's fit enough to play.
 
"I spoke with Harry in Liverpool and told him we need his help now. I have also spoken to the doctor about him and we will wait to see what he says before the game before I decide."
