Carabao Cup draw: Newcastle United's ball number, potential opponents and fourth round dates
Newcastle United will enter the Carabao Cup fourth round draw alongside the likes of Sunderland, Arsenal and Manchester United.
Newcastle United have moved into the last 16 of the Carabao Cup after seeing off Championship clubs West Bromwich Albion and Millwall in the previous rounds.
The home win against the Baggies came thanks to a Harvey Barnes brace and Bazoumana Traore’s first goal for the club as Matthias Jaissle’s claimed a 3-2 win at St James’ Park before Joe Willock got the only goal of the game in last week’s visit to Millwall.
That means the Magpies now sit potentially just three wins from revisiting Wembley in the final of the same competition where they ended their 70-year wait for majority domestic silverware just 18 months ago. But when will United discover their last-16 opponents?
