What TV channel Newcastle United v Manchester City is on, injury news and Carabao Cup Round 4 draw details

Newcastle United host Pep Guardiola’s side tonight with progress to Round 4 of the competition very much in sight. The Magpies finished as Carabao Cup runners-up last year and face a City team that lifted the trophy on four-straight occasions between 2018 and 2021.

Eddie Howe’s side come into the game on the back of a stunning 8-0 win at Bramall Lane on Sunday, whilst City were 2-0 victors over Nottingham Forest. With European and domestic demands to balance, both Guardiola and Howe are expected to rotate their team tonight.
