Newcastle
Eddie Howe’s team is confidently progressing through the EFL Cup, having won three matches at various stages. On their way to the quarterfinals, they have overcome several strong opponents, including Premier League representatives. In the first round, Newcastle narrowly defeated Nottingham Forest away (1-1, 4-3 on penalties).
They then secured clean-sheet victories at home, beating AFC Wimbledon (1-0) and Chelsea (2-0). Currently, the club is unbeaten in six consecutive League Cup matches, with 4 wins and 2 draws. Last season, the Magpies were eliminated at the quarterfinal stage, losing to Chelsea in a penalty shootout (1-1, 2-4 on penalties). Over the weekend, Newcastle defeated Leicester 4-0 in the Premier League, breaking a streak of 4 winless matches.
The Londoners have confidently advanced through three stages of the current EFL Cup campaign, though the level of their opponents was relatively modest. Their journey began with a narrow away win over Colchester United (1-0). Then, on home soil, they beat Leyton Orient (3-1) and Sheffield Wednesday (1-1, 5-4 on penalties).
Thomas Frank’s team last reached the quarterfinal stage three years ago, where they lost to Chelsea (0-2). It is worth noting that in their previous seven League Cup matches, the Londoners have suffered only one defeat in regulation time, recording 3 wins and 3 draws. Over the weekend, Brentford lost to Chelsea in the Premier League with a score of 1-2. At the moment, the Bees sit in 11th place in the league table.
