Attentions now turn to the League Cup on Wednesday night, as Eddie Howe's side go to the Wirral to play Tranmere Rovers in the second round.

The United boss is likely to utilise his squad, giving players a chance to impress while hopefully progressing to the next phase of the competition.

Two players who could start after being on the bench at the weekend are Chris Wood and Ryan Fraser.

Wood has nine goals and three assists in his League Cup career, while Fraser has four goals and three assists in the competition.

The Magpies will fancy their chances in front of goal and so BoyleSports have boosted the betting odds on them to be part of a goal frenzy.

Newcastle to win & over 3.5 goals in the match was 2/1 but is now 5/2.

The last time both clubs met was over 22 years ago when Newcastle won 3-2 away at Prenton Park in the FA Cup.
