Newcastle United take on Walter Zenga's side in a third-round tie (7.45pm kick-off) three days after losing to them in the Championship.

Wolves won 2-0 on Saturday thanks to an own goal from Chancel Mbemba and a strike from Helder Costa.

United manager Benitez – whose side beat Cheltenham Town in the last round of the EFL Cup – has made a number of changes for the rematch.

As expected, striker Daryl Murphy and left-back Achraf Lazaar make their Newcastle debuts in the tie.

Karl Darlow starts in goal, while Grant Hanley and Ciaran Clark are partnered in central defence.
