Tranmere welcome Newcastle in the biggest mismatch of the Carabao Cup second round tomorrow evening.

Rovers sit 17th in League Two following three defeats in the opening five games of the new campaign, but will be pitted against the Magpies who are perched sixth in the Premier League.

The early rounds of the cup always provide terrific opportunities for giant-killings, and neutrals will be tuning in for this one in hope of another.

Newcastle have started the season superbly. They defeated Nottingham Forest before drawing with Brighton and, most impressively, also drawing champions Manchester City at St James’ Park.

Tranmere have only reached the third round of this competition once since 2001 and will be determined to give a good account of themselves against far superior opponents.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Tranmere v Newcastle on TV and online.

Our prediction: Tranmere v Newcastle

Newcastle’s revolution looks set to be a slow burn without splashing obscene money at the first opportunity. There’ll be no instant Champions League charge, but a domestic trophy is certainly in their sights this term. This should be a comfortable evening for Eddie Howe’s confident side.

Our prediction: Tranmere 0-2 Newcastle (9/2 at bet365)
