Newcastle's new signing Jonas Gutierrez is set to make his debut at Hartlepool.

Toon boss Kevin Keegan has promised to take a strong squad to face their League One neighbours in their first summer pre-season friendly.

And the £7 million Argentina international is expected to star with fellow new signing Danny Guthrie in the game, which is part of Hartlepool's centenary celebrations.

Keegan said: `I'm really looking forward to it. We've had two weeks now and the players are ready for a match.

'I will field a very strong team. I will take all of my players who are fit but I won't take any gambles with any players who we don't think are quite fit or have got slight problems.`

'We've got two or three, like you always do at this time of year, who we've pulled out of training as a precaution.

'I'll take three or four youngsters and I'll give them a chance as well at some stage whether that be 10 or 15 minutes.'
