Newcastle United return to a sold out St James’s Park this evening when they host Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup. Over a month on from their last competitive game, a 1-0 win against Chelsea in the Premier League, Newcastle will be aiming to impress in-front of their own supporters once again.
52,000 supporters, including a hardy bunch of Cherries fans making their way from the south coast, will be present as both teams aim to reach the Carabao Cup Quarter-Finals. For Newcastle, it is yet another chance to impress in front of their own supporters with the Magpies having tasted defeat just twice on their home turf in 2022.
