The Magpies head into the clash buoyed by a commanding 4-0 victory over Leicester City on Saturday, a result that ended their recent slump and injected momentum into their campaign.

After lingering in the bottom half of the Premier League table, Newcastle are just two points adrift of the top six, and their fans have reason to be optimistic: the Toon Army have seen their team win six consecutive League Cup ties at home within 90 minutes.

Brentford, meanwhile, continue their hunt for a first-ever League Cup triumph. The Bees came close in the 2020/21 campaign, reaching the semi-finals before falling to Tottenham Hotspur.

Thomas Frank’s side arrives in the North East off the back of a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Chelsea on Sunday, an outcome that extended their struggles on the road this season.

Brentford have secured just a single point from their opening eight Premier League away matches, a stark contrast to their solid home performances.

Their 1-0 victory over Colchester United in August offers hope, though they will need to rewrite history to progress, having never beaten Newcastle on Tyneside.

Adding intrigue to the clash is the fact that these two sides met just 11 days ago, with Brentford emerging 4-2 victors in West London.

Newcastle’s fortress-like home form and Brentford’s travel woes suggest a different dynamic this time around. Goals could be on the cards as five of the last six meetings between these sides in Newcastle have seen both teams find the net.

For Newcastle fans, it has been nearly seven decades of waiting for domestic silverware; the club’s last major triumph came in the 1955 FA Cup.

With momentum on their side and home support behind them, Eddie Howe’s men will see this as an opportunity to take another step closer to ending that long-standing drought.
