| Another game from the EFL Cup quarter-finals will take place at St James' Park. Newcastle accept at home Fulham. Both teams are separted just by two points in the league table. According to the bookies the home team is clear favourite to win the game as the defending champions Newcastle are likely to have the better chances of reaching the semi-finals. The Magpies have lost only one of their last five competitive matches and can also count on home advantage. Fulham have lost three of their last six competitive matches and have only managed two wins in eight away games in the Premier League. In the previous round of the EFL Cup, Fulham managed to advance against the lower-league Wycombe Wanderers after a penalty shootout. Last time when these two met was in October when Newcastle won their league match against Fulham 2-1 at home. |
