Newcastle to Get Revenge Against Bees

Newcastle have had a topsy-turvy Premier League campaign up to now. The Magpies have finished fourth and seventh in the last two seasons but languish down in 12^th at present.

Winning a cup this term is no doubt high on Eddie Howe’s wish list, and United have a great chance to book their place in the last four of the League Cup. They have seen off Nottingham Forest, Wimbledon, and Chelsea so far.

Brentford have beaten Colchester United, Leyton Orient, and Sheffield Wednesday to make it to the last eight. The Bees reached the semi-finals a few years ago but have never won the EFL Cup.

These two teams look evenly matched on paper, but Newcastle are the favourites in front of their own fans. Can Howe’s men make home advantage count and secure a spot in the last four?

Recent Newcastle United vs Brentford Head-to-Head Meetings

These two met in the Premier League a couple of weeks back, with Brentford winning a six-goal thriller. Goals from Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa, Nathan Collins, and Kevin Schade were enough for a 4-2 Bees victory in London.

Newcastle picked up a 4-2 win of their own at the Brentford Community Stadium in the previous meeting. The Magpies also won when the duo last locked horns at St James’, with Callum Wilson netting the only goal.
