A shock cup exit at Sheffield Wednesday has increased the pressure on Newcastle in the EFL Cup tonight.
Eddie Howe will be desperate to avoid going out of two cup competitions in the space of four days especially when a win this evening leaves them just one round away from Wembley.
Unless you count the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2006, the last “major” trophy won by the Magpies was the FA Cup, back in 1955 so there's plenty of incentive.
Leicester City are the visitors tonight and the Foxes successfully navigated a tricky FA Cup tie at Gillingham at the weekend but they lost 3-0 to Newcastle on Boxing Day so go in to tonight's game as 5/1 outsiders.
Howe rested eight players at the weekend so you'd expect them to be closer to full-strength tonight. 11/20 on the home win looks about right.
But goals could be a better bet. Over 2.5 goals has landed in each of the last seven meetings between the sides. Newcastle created a glut of chances against Wednesday and Howe has called on his team to be more clinical. On the face of it Leicester haven't found goals easy to come by this season but away from home their tally of 17 is the third highest in the Premier League. Back Over 2.5 Goals at 4/5.
In Scotland there's a trio of Challenge Cup matches. Both Hamilton and Clyde are struggling in their respective leagues and each suffered defeat once more at the weekend but they meet tonight at New Douglas Park, which both teams have been calling home this season.
Despite propping up the Championship table the Accies look a good option at 8/13 to win at the expense of their tenants tonight.
Combine that with a win for Rangers B in the Lowland League for a 134/100 Double. The Gers youths have suffered three defeats in a row and slumped to 4th in the table but can bounceback with a win over Civil Service Strollers who have only won one in five themselves.

fylde game now off, it’s been lashin it down here in sheffield for hours on end now. can see a few more dropping after pitch inspections during the afternoon
Cheers mate justed check back in and realised
I’ve just logged into my WH account and I’ve been restricted from their SOTD promotion, surprised as I haven’t been taking much off them? I think Bet365 seem to be the fairest in this respect, anyone feel the same?
I don’t think it’s an issue with you mate mine said same today.
Same here although they restricted me a long time ago to the point of not telling me but just not letting me win at all on any scratches anymore. I gave up in the end!
Try it now mate . It is up and running .
Im the same ?
I can’t say I’ve ever really had a problem with willy hills i use them for most of my footy bets , use betfair , sky and bet365 for other bits , have had a few problems with bet365 so try not to use them if i can help it.
I had exactly the same problem with Whills last week! When I questioned them all they would say was it was a “management” decision when pressed again I was told someone would come back to me with an answer needless to say heard nothing
On another subject anyone having problems receiving the 25% bb winning boost on bet365
I used to get it but now it seems to have disappeared despite mates still receiving it
Tried various browsers deleting cache & cookies etc makes no difference
Might sound silly but have you tried pressing the boost button
they froze me out of their bonus drop promotion, couldn’t tell me why. a very very odd bookies, my least favourite. even their SOTD are poor, used to get bet £5 receive £2, now it’s 5/1. my mate used to get 10/5, so they obviously have their favourite punters?
I get literally no promotions from 365. No free bets, no bet boosts, nowt. I enquired about it in the past and got told it was again a management decision. They didn’t bother to tell me in the first place. It’s the bookie I use the most too. Like their bet builder options better

Bixieupnorth, funny I used to get same thing too.. who do you use these days, I imagine most online bookies are operating the same way though!
i tend to use skybet and betway these days, both have good freebet offers if you spend a certain amount. i especially like skybet’s set up, i only do football bets and love the easy way you can load up accas on heaps of different types of bets. plus the reuse selections button when it all goes wrong on the early kick off!
My bet today:
Whitby vs Guisley – o2.5
Corinthian Vs Horsham – o2.5
Glenavon Vs Crusaders – o2.5
HW Welders Vs Ballinamallard – o2.5
Airbus UK Vs Caernarfon – o2.5
Total odd: 12.23 @ WH’s
It’s interesting to read the various relationships people have with different bookies. I have a number of my accounts, but my bets are typically £5 or less, occasionally £10. I try and max promotions where possible, such as free daily spins (Hills good for this), bet £5 get £5 free bet etc. but i really only know about football. Ladbrokes stopped me from using their free daily spin ages ago, I did question it and got the usual b*llsh*t. It definitely can’t be because I am taking lots of money off these people (because I am not), but I am trying to win monies from them, using advice, skill and judgement, as well as having fun !
Skybet is good, as once you have a free bet there is no expiry date (whereas with PP, Hills, Betfair I sometimes forget this and lose the free bet). I had (for me) major success with grosvernor casinos in the Xmas break. From their Christmas match the symbols in 1 minute game which is running daily currently, I got 45 free spins, which generated a bonus of £194, which I then had to play through but I ended up with over £140! Result.
Nowt I really fancy tonight. Hoying a few quid on this for interest.

All at bet365.
Newcastle unbeaten at home won 3-0 at Leicester recently and at 2-5 to win should obviously score 😆 heard that before.
Leicester for their part are struggling with form, struggling with injuries and struggling to find a way of sacking a struggling manager who want out of the club.
Saying all this Leicester have unbelievably scored in their last 18 and 24 of their last 25 away games which suggests their defence isn’t the best as they Lost plenty of these games.
Prediction 2-2
Leicester win on penalties
