Newcastle United host League Two side Bromley in the third round of the FA Cup this weekend hoping to continue a fine run of form that sees them still competing in three competitions.
The Magpies made it seven wins in a row on Tuesday with a 2-0 victory away at Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-finals while they have propelled themselves up the table in the Premier League. Eddie Howe’s men now sit fifth and have their sights set on the Champions League spots while hoping to progress in both cup competitions. Howe is expected to switch things up and name a wildly different team to the one that faced the Gunners during the week.
Bromley, meanwhile, managed to achieve a marvellous feat and set up a match against Newcastle. This is the first time in their history that they’ve reached the third round of the competition having won a seven-goal thriller at non-league Rochdale in early November before edging past Solihull Moors in the West Midlands.
Newcastle United vs Bromley will kick off at 3pm GMT on Sunday 12 January at St. James’ Park in Newcastle, England.

Newcastle United are expected to make a whole heap of changes after their victory over Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg on Tuesday. Alexander Isak suffered a slight hamstring twinge in that game so is expected to sit out and fellow forward Callum Wilson continues to recover from his own hamstring injury so won’t be ready for this game.
Also absent will be defender Jamaal Lascelles and goalkeeper Nick Pope meaning Martin Dubravka may start again unless Eddie Howe wants to rest his current No.1.
For Bromley, Callum Reynolds is likely to drop out of the XI and 37-year-old Byron Webster could feature to bring a bit more experience to the team at St James’ Park. Kamarl Grant is unavailable through suspension.
Newcastle United XI: Dubravka; Trippier, Kelly, Burn, Targett; Longstaff, Miley, Willock; Barnes, Almiron, Osula
Bromley XI: Smith; Webster, Sowunmi, Reynolds; Imray, Thompson, Arthurs, Odutayo, Whitley; Cheek, Dennis
Newcastle win 1/10
Draw 6/1
Bromley win 14/1

Even with the expected changes in personnel, Newcastle should have enough quality to make this a simple outing and one for the fringe members of the squad to enjoy.
Newcastle 3-0 Bromley.
