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 #401Can this team win ? Yes
But it makes it less likely that’s all some of us are saying.
No Tonali and one of the slowest centre back pairings in the league makes it less likely.

Comment #403Fray
I call it as I see it before the game.
I will call a good and poor selection.
What’s the point of saying nowt until after the game? That has no credibility.
I suppose you think the players read this blog just before they go out?

Comment #404If we show the same hustle and willingness to press that we did midweek, we won’t lose today

Comment #408Great game from Gordon. Joelinton winning contests everywhere on the field. Willock looking dangerous whenever he got the ball. Longstaff given a lesson by Rice but kept at it. Defence solid, both fullbacks good
