"In what is an all-Premier League showdown on Wednesday night, Newcastle and Fulham will look to punch their respective EFL Cup semi-final tickets when they meet at St. James' Park. Suffering major heartbreak away at their arch-rivals over the weekend, Eddie Howe's have once again continued to show some worrying inconsistencies and the Magpies have plenty of expectations on their shoulders here."
"Coming under a huge amount of scrutiny over the weekend as they fell to a 1-0 loss away at Premier League returners and arch-rivals Sunderland over the weekend, Newcastle have once again show some extended inconsistencies. Failing to record consecutive victories across all competitions since the end of October, it has been suggested that Howe finds some increasing pressure on his shoulders."
Newcastle host Fulham at St. James' Park in an all-Premier League EFL Cup tie with semi-final places on the line. Newcastle have shown worrying inconsistencies and recent defensive struggles, including a 1-0 loss to Sunderland, despite revitalizing wins like 2-1 victories over Manchester City and Burnley and a 4-1 win at Everton. The Magpies remain unbeaten in their last eight home matches (seven wins, one draw) but continue to search for defensive solidity. Fulham secured an important Premier League boost to move away from relegation danger and will aim for a cup upset midweek. Expectations are high for Newcastle while Fulham seek momentum.
