Newcastle United handed trip to Tranmere Rovers in Carabao Cup second round

Newcastle Newcastle United Tranmere Rovers Tranmere Rovers Carabao Cup Magpies Barnsley

Newcastle United will travel to Prenton Park for the second round of the League Cup as they face their old cup adversaries Tranmere Rovers.

The Magpies plucked out a trip to the Wirral after Tranmere beat Accrington Stanley 12-11 on penalties last night in Lancashire. It sets up a repeat of the 1998 tie - in round three - when Paul Dalglish scored the winner during the Ruud Gullit era. Newcastle have faced Tranmere in the FA Cup since then with a 3-2 FA Cup win against Rovers in 2000.

The tie will also bring back memories for some of the 6-6 Zenith Data Systems Cup tie back in 1991 when Newcastle scored half a dozen but were then beaten on penalties!
