Newcastle and Manchester City will battle it out in the Carabao Cup’s third round at St James’ Park tonight.
The Magpies are coming into this clash against one of the best teams in the world after thrashing Sheffield United 8-0 on Sunday, with eight different goal scorers getting in on the action.
Eddie Howe is expected to field a strong team as he looks to take his side one step further in the Carabao Cup than they managed last season when they were defeated in the final. Pep Guardiola may not be keen to deploy some of his exhausted stars, but the depth of his squad still makes the treble winners favorites on their visit to St James’ Park.
