Harry Kewell and Josemi will step up their bids for full match fitness tonight when they line-up in a strong looking reserve team against Newcastle United at the Racecourse Ground (kick-off 7pm).

Kewell has not played since injuring his groin in December, while Josemi has been out with a knee injury for a similar length of time.

Saturday's substitutes Antonio Nunez, Mauricio Pellegrino, Vladimir Smicer and Stephen Warnock are also included in the side, and all will be looking to give a good account of themselves with vital games in the the Champions League and Carling Cup looming.
