Newcastle will be aiming to gain revenge on Brentford when the sides clash in the last eight of the EFL Cup on Wednesday.
The Magpies were swept aside by the Bees in the Premier League at the beginning of the month, but have since bounced back to form following an impressive showing against Leicester on Saturday.
Thomas Frank’s Bees will only be making their third appearance in the quarterfinal stage of the EFL Cup, and they have only progressed through to the semi-finals on one previous occasion.
