The 24-year-old Wales forward put signed a four-and-a-half year deal in South London on Friday, and has been designated our No. 11 shirt, which will receive its first outing in the North-East today.
His introduction marks the only change from the team which drew 1-1 against Fulham at Selhurst Park on New Year’s Day, with Justin Devenny moving to the bench.
Elsewhere, Will Hughes has recovered from the injury he sustained in the second-half of that match to retain his place in the starting XI.
The Manager told Sky Sports ahead of the game: "Maybe he [Johnson] is our freshest player right now! He didn't play in the last weeks, he didn't play so many minutes for Tottenham, but he was in the rhythm and he trained with us yesterday and then we decided to just let him start immediately.
“Of course, don't expect everything, he doesn't know his team-mates right now, but with his quality, with his skills, he will definitely help us.
“Yesterday was a 40-minute session, and even the starters from the Fulham game were the first 25 minutes on the pitch, but [we are impressed with] what we have seen on the video. Of course, I know him, we played against him, and I watch all the games in our scouting department as well, so he knows the league, he knows the league, he knows the teams. He has played a few months ago here at Newcastle with Tottenham, so that helps – nothing is new.
“Yes, the team-mates are [new], but the way we are playing, we expect that it suits him, and now let's start immediately.”
