Newcastle United Drawn Away to Everton in Carabao Cup Fourth Round
Elsewhere in the draw, Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso will face his former club Liverpool. A fixture that will draw significant attention regardless of the two clubs’ domestic form. Manchester City are set to host Brighton at the Etihad Stadium, though that tie depends on City first getting past Norwich in their outstanding third-round match, which has yet to be played.
Newcastle United will travel to Everton in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, with the tie set for the week commencing 26 October. The draw, conducted by the competition’s organisers, pits Matthias Jaissle’s side against a fellow Premier League opponent for a place in the last eight.
The trip to Merseyside is Newcastle’s next assignment in a competition they have already navigated through the opening rounds this season. Full details of the draw and the dates involved were confirmed by the BBC Sport draw coverage.
Carabao Cup Fourth-Round Draw Details and Complete Fixture List
Newcastle’s tie against Everton is one of eight fourth-round fixtures confirmed by the EFL following Tuesday and Wednesday’s third-round matches. The standout pairing sends League Two side Fleetwood Town to host Premier League champions Arsenal.
Fleetwood reached the fourth round for the first time in their history after beating Sheffield United 1-0 on Wednesday night. Arsenal secured their place with a 4-2 win over Ipswich Town on Tuesday.
The remaining fixtures are Fulham against Crystal Palace, Bournemouth against Aston Villa, and Sunderland against Brentford. League One clubs Bradford and Peterborough also reached the fourth round, beating Leyton Orient and Barnsley, respectively, in the third round.
Matthias Jaissle’s Carabao Cup Schedule and Squad Context
The Everton tie gives Jaissle another cup fixture to plan around alongside Newcastle’s Premier League commitments. The manager has already overseen a run of notable results this season. These include the club’s heroics against Bournemouth and a full squad selection for the season opener against Liverpool. Both of which have shaped the early picture of his first campaign in charge.
No quotes have yet been issued by Newcastle or Everton regarding the draw. Any comment on team selection or approach to the tie will follow closer to the fixture itself. No speculation on team news is warranted at this stage given the match remains several weeks away.
For Newcastle supporters, the tie represents a straightforward route back into a competition the club has targeted in recent seasons, against a Merseyside rival with its own new-look setup under scrutiny this term. The context of both sides’ domestic campaigns will only become clearer as the fourth round approaches.
Fourth-Round Match Dates and Upcoming Domestic Schedule
All eight fourth-round ties, including Newcastle’s trip to Everton, are scheduled for the week commencing 26 October. This is in line with the EFL’s usual calendar for this stage of the competition. Exact kick-off times and dates for individual fixtures are expected to be confirmed closer to the round.
The Manchester City versus Norwich third-round match remains outstanding and must be completed before City’s potential fourth-round meeting with Brighton can be treated as confirmed. Until that fixture is played, the Etihad Stadium tie stays provisional.
Newcastle’s focus in the meantime will turn to their Premier League fixtures. With the Carabao Cup trip to Everton providing a clear marker in an otherwise busy autumn schedule. Supporters will be looking for further official confirmation of dates and broadcast details as the round draws nearer.
