Newcastle United are set to face West Bromwich Albion at St James' Park in an EFL Cup match on Wednesday night. The Magpies are looking to advance to the third round of the competition, where they have a strong history against West Brom. Newcastle United won seven of their last 14 meetings and four of their last six at St James' Park.
The team preview reveals that Matthias Jaissle, Newcastle's manager, is likely to make several changes to the starting lineup for this important fixture. Nick Woltemade, a 24-year-old new signing, is expected to replace Joe Willock at the top of the attack. Other notable changes include the absence of Tino Livramento and Joelinton, with Dan Burn also unavailable due to ankle ligament damage.
New signings Aladji Bamba and Bazoumana Toure are also expected to make their full debuts in this match.
