Yohan Cabaye will be missing from Newcastle's ITV televised FA Cup visit to The Amex on January 5 (12.30)
* Albion's FA Cup tie against Newcastle has been selected for live ITV coverage.
* The kick-off for the third round clash at The Amex on Saturday January 5 has been moved forward as a result to 12.30pm.
* Albion knocked Newcastle out at The Amex in the fourth round last year, Will Buckley scoring the only goal.
* Their chances of staging a repeat have been improved by the absence of the Toon's influential French midfielder Yohan Cabaye until February following groin surgery.
* Albion boss Gus Poyet told The Argus: "There could be an extra bit on it, because of last year. It's a Premiership club with a great fan base, so it's going to be a nice game.
* "They've had injuries to very key players. When (Fabricio) Coloccini hasn't been playing they pay a little bit at the back. Cabaye is an absolutely key player in the middle and Ben Arfa can really open up any defence when it's tight.
* "Everybody knows, if they are all fit, Newcastle are an absolutely fantastic team to watch."
* Amex season ticket holders can claim their seat via the auto-cup scheme. See the club website, HOME PAGE, for full details.
