Newcastle United will face AFC Bournemouth in the fourth-round of the Carabao Cup following Thursday's live draw on Sky Sports. The Magpies made hard work progressing in the competition earlier this week, needing penalties to beat Crystal Palace at St James' Park.
The home clash attracted over 51,000 spectators on Wednesday, a club record in the competition, and the packed crowd were left biting their nails as Newcastle made it through the shootout after Nick Pope's heroics in between the sticks.
The fourth-round draw took place following Manchester United's clash with Aston Villa and sees Newcastle take on the Cherries next. The fourth round games are scheduled to be played on the week of December 19, 2022. That means they will be contested immediately after the World Cup and in the middle of the festive period.
