Newcastle are hoping to end a winless streak with a continuation of their Carabao Cup run this evening. Redemption is on hand after a 2-1 defeat at Chelsea just a few days ago.
This is the side Eddie Howe has named against the Blues at St. James’ Park for a ticket to the quarterfinals. It has five changes from the weekend. The good news is Anthony Gordon is back in the team after missing out with injury.

Belief may be starting to wane on this campaign with Newcastle mired in the bottom half of the table. However, advancing in this competition is a very real prospect. A win today could jumpstart better days ahead.
Howay The Lads!

Comment #6Bruno might have a fight on his hands to get back into the side, if Tonali gets the team playing quicker transitions, and bags himself an assist with a quick through ball.
I always preferred Bruno playing on the right of the midfield 3 anyway. That’s where he was playing when he went on his early scoring run.

Comment #12Cant fault Eddie for his Cup teams.
Not daft, knows the importance of it.
Will be interesting to watch Tonali as deepest midfielder. Quicker in both thought and athletic ability.
Number of times you see Bruno the wrong side of a midfielder paddling back is worrying

Comment #13This is more like it !
Would love It if it turns into a 4231 with Willock drifting into the no 10
Joelinton on the right would be a great idea if it does happen I think

Comment #15Its a tough game.
Chelski for all the money they have spent should be beating us. Simple.
There team has many 60m+ players in it.
But the front three are cowards.
Battle of the midfields, worry about Krafth and Sean down the right. Piss poor technical players.

Hi everyone,
I’ve been asked by the person many of you will know as GeordieTom to pass on the sad news that his Wife after many years of illness has passed away.
Tom isn’t able to post on here anymore, but knows many of you will be saddened by this news.
His Wife has expressed her wish to wear one of her Toon shirts for her funeral as she was a mad toon supporter as so many of us are.
If you wish to leave any messages for Tom they can be sent by direct message on Discord or left on here and I’ll forward them all to Tom on your behalf.
Kind regards,
Bob.
