Newcastle and Burnley are both seeking respite from the Premier League during their Carabao Cup clash this evening.

The Magpies were put to the sword by both West Ham and Aston Villa in 4-2 and 2-0 defeats respectively.

Steve Bruce will hope his side’s completion of the claret and blue trilogy ends in victory against Burnley tonight with a place in the third round offering some crucial hope to disillusioned fans.

Burnley are traditionally slow starters in the Premier League so their opening results are neither shocking or alarming for Sean Dyche and his legions of fans.

The Clarets don’t boast a rich history of success in the League Cup with Dyche ruthless in his favour towards Premier League success.

Six of Burnley’s last seven League Cup campaigns haven’t progressed beyond the third round.

Our prediction: Newcastle v Burnley

Bruce has an opportunity to win back a few fans to his plight this evening. Newcastle fans crave a cup run and he can set them on the path here.

The Magpies may not boast a squad worthy of competing for European places, or even the increasingly competitive top half, so fighting for a cup run should be high up on Bruce’s list of priorities.

Burnley have their focus set on Premier League survival at any cost once again this term, and Newcastle should capitalise on that.

Our prediction: Newcastle 1-0 Burnley (6/1 at bet365)
