Incredible NUFC stat
Newcastle have lost just ONCE in regulation time in the Carabao Cup under Eddie Howe . . . and that was the 2023 final against Manchester United.
Newcastle were already out when Howe arrived in 2021-22 season, they got to the final in 2023, lost to Chelsea on penalties in 23-24 and of course won it last season.
So bring on anyone!
