Newcastle Injuries & News
Midfielder Sean Longstaff is suspended and won’t feature on Wednesday.
Defenders Jamaal Lascelles, Sven Botman and Emil Krafth are injured and unavailable.
Striker Callum Wilson and goalkeeper Nick Pope are also out with respective injuries.
Brentford Form
Thomas Frank’s Brentford began their EFL Cup journey with a 1-0 win at Colchester and a 3-1 victory over Leyton Orient. The Premier League club then required penalties to overcome Sheffield Wednesday after a 1-1 draw.
The Bees’ form has been inconsistent since, with just three wins in seven, all coming at the Gtech. Brentford haven’t won away in this spell and have avoided defeat just once in their previous seven on the road.
The West London side lost their seventh away league fixture on Sunday, falling 2-1 at Chelsea. Frank’s team allowed 2.59 XG, conceded in each half and Bryan Mbeumo scored a consolation in the 89th minute.
Brentford Injuries & News
Forward Gustavo Nunes and midfielder Mathias Jensen are injured and won’t play here.
Defenders Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey and midfielder Josh Dasilva are also unavailable due to injury.
Attacker Kevin Schade scored in the previous round of the EFL Cup and has five goals in his last eight appearances.
Verdict
Newcastle dominated Leicester at home last time out and can build winning momentum against Brentford. The Bees’ recent away record is poor and the Magpies can take advantage with a cup win.
