The club have stated on Twitter that Miguel Almiron misses out through illness and Jamaal Lascelles due to injury.
As to whether many Newcastle United fans will believe this is another matter, as these are two of the NUFC squad who have been the subject of claimed interest from other clubs in this transfer window.
Amongst the young players on the bench is Travis Hernes, an 18 year old Norwegian midfielder bought from Shrewsbury in the summer (2023).
Newcastle United looking to break out of a dismal FA Cup run these past 17 years, vast majority under Mike Ashley, where we have seen ten exits at the immediate third round stage, six at fourth round stage after winning one match.
Just the one campaign in 17 years where NUFC have won more than one FA Cup match in a season, in 2019/20 the incredible feat of winning against Rochdale (after a replay), Oxford (after a replay) and West Brom, before losing at home to Man City.
