The 2025-26 Carabao Cup is in full swing, with the round of 16 taking place on October 29, 2025. Several of the Premier League's biggest teams are in action, hoping to secure their place in the quarter-finals of the competition.

The Magpies, led by manager Eddie Howe, are on a run of two consecutive home wins and will be aiming for a third to progress to the next round.
