Two Premier League sides who have been going along quite well this season meet here, as Newcastle host Brentford. Toon are lacking consistency this term under Eddie Howe but have been taking this competition very seriously in recent years. Brentford meanwhile are going well under Thomas Frank and whilst the Premier League remains their priority, how they would love some cup success.

Newcastle United vs Brentford Analysis
This should be a super contest in the North East, with both sides looking to book their place in the semifinals of the Carabao Cup.
Newcastle United
Newcastle have had an indifferent start to their Premier League campaign this season and they are still languishing in the bottom half. That said, they have picked up some good results against the bigger teams and they tend to raise their game at St James’s Park. Toon reached the Carabao Cup final in 2023 and with a 60-year wait for a major trophy ongoing, the pressure is cranked up on the Magpies every season in this competition.
Team news: Sven Botman, Callum Wilson and Jamal Lascelles remain out of action for the Magpies.
Newcastle United Predicted Lineup:
Dubravka, Livramento, Burn, Schar, Hall, Tonali, Joelinton, Murphy, Gordon, Barnes & Isak.
Brentford
A defeat to West London rivals Chelsea will have hurt Brentford last time out but the Bees are ticking along very nicely indeed in the Premier League. Cup competitions have rarely been a priority for Thomas Frank but as he continues to expand his squad, the expectations continue to rise at the Gtech Community Stadium. Brentford will give this a proper go up in the North East and how they would love to reach the last 4 of the Carabao Cup.
Team news: Aaron Hickey, Rico Henry and Josh Dasilva continue to sit out for Brentford.
Brentford Predicted Lineup:
Flekken, Van den Berg, Pinnock, Mee, Collins, Carvalho, Meghoma, Schade, Janelt, Wissa & Mbuemo.
Newcastle United vs Brentford Prediction
This should be an absolute humdinger between two of the most entertaining sides in the Premier League in Newcastle United and Chelsea. Both sides are locked in the middle of the Premier League table and will consequently see the Carabao Cup as a chance to bag some silverware. Toon are playing well under Eddie Howe at home and with Brentford sure to make plenty of changes, Newcastle could manage to see them off at St James’s Park.
Prediction: Newcastle United to win the match – 4/7 (-175) – Rhino Bet.
Newcastle United vs Brentford – The Ultimate Bet
Newcastle to win & BTTS – 3/1 (+300) – Fitzdares
Both of these sides look to play attractive football and this could be an absolute goal fest at St James’s Park, with Toon most likely to come out with the win in an entertaining game.
