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 #81Said it before so many times Joelinton isn’t a central midfielder he’s a forward we need to get him in the front 3 somehow
Looks so much better Schar plays that long ball Joelinton then keeps possession everytime gets us up the pitch
Kelly and Krafth stepping in good and Tonali playing much better as the 6
Could we maybe just put Bruno as the no 8 and put Tonali at the Base?
For balance if Gordon could just adapt to be the right winger we need the team would be better overall

Comment #89Sitting way too deep this half, almost like we’re just trying to set up to counter attack now.

Comment #97“Jane it was only a few weeks ago you were talking him all sorts. Same with Bruno.”
correct but since then i have posted positive about Tonali. he was guilty by associating with Bruno 🙂

Comment #104Tonali was sp right just there telling Bruno to calm down and just play a simple pass. He over complicates things too much.

Comment #116I think for now Liveramento just like Barnes are far more effective coming into the game as a sub. So much brighter when they are fresh.

Comment #120Ive never in my life seen a keep quite as bad as Pope at kicking the ball. It’s crazy he just cant kick a ball to save his life. But what a shot stopper to give him his credit.
