Match preview
As is well documented, Newcastle haven’t won a major trophy since 1969, last claiming domestic silverware in 1955.
So, what the Toon Army craves more than most is a cup run, hoping this will be the start of one.
On Sunday, Eddie Howe’s team played brilliantly and were ultimately disappointed to only take a point at home to Manchester City.
Miguel Almirón, Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier, the latter a gorgeous free-kick, on target in a thrilling 3-3 draw.
This means the Magpies remain unbeaten this season, having already beaten Nottingham Forest and then held Brighton to a goalless draw.
So, will Newcastle safely book their place in round three?
The Super White Army, just, beat Accrington Stanley in the previous round, coming from 2-0 down to force a penalty shootout, thanks to 93rd minute own goal.
Then, 26 spot-kicks were taken, so much so that Kane Hemmings and Josh Hawkes both scored twice, as Tranmere snuck through 12-11.
In League Two, Micky Mellon’s men are down in 17th, losing 2-1 at Newport County on Saturday.
So, it should be a comfortable night for Newcastle at Prenton Park.
