Carabao Cup holders Newcastle welcome fellow Premier League side Fulham to St. James' Park in the quarter-finals on Wednesday night. The hosts will be hoping to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat at Sunderland in the Wear-Tyne derby over the weekend.
Meanwhile, Fulham recorded an important 3-2 away victory at Burnley to help ease off potential relegation fears. This is expected to be a tougher test for the Cottagers though, with a huge semi-final place at stake.
