Newcastle United face Bromley for a place in the FA Cup Fourth Round at St James’ Park this afternoon.

Eddie Howe’s side head into the game as one of the form teams in the country having defeated Arsenal in the first-leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday. Standing in their way of another Fourth Round appearance are League Two side Bromley.

Andy Woodman’s side have never reached this round of the competition before and will be the first time that Bromley have ever faced a Premier League team in a competitive game.

Memories of defeats against Cambridge United and Sheffield Wednesday still loom large over Howe’s squad and they will be very keen to avoid a giant-killing this afternoon. A win for the Magpies, however, would see them take one more giant step on their way to a potential Wembley appearance - and fans won’t have to wait long to find out their opponents in the next round should Newcastle United defeat Bromley this afternoon.

When is the FA Cup 4th Round draw?

The draw for the Fourth Round of the FA Cup will take place this afternoon. The draw will commence following the conclusion of Arsenal’s clash against Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.

With replays having been scrapped in this season’s competition, extra time could be played in north London. The draw will be broadcast on BBC One as well as the FA Cup’s social media channels.

What ball number will Newcastle United/Bromley be?

The winner of Newcastle United v Bromley will be ball number 23 in today’s draw. Newcastle United have not had a home draw in the FA Cup Fourth Round since 2020 - a goalless draw with Oxford United.
