Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel says that Newcastle are a team to 'avoid' in the Carabao Cup this season.
Newcastle defeated Crystal Palace on penalties after a goalless draw at St James' Park on Wednesday, to reach the fourth round of the competition for just the second time in six seasons. The League Cup appears to be a realistic chance of silverware for Newcastle, who are also flying in the Premier League, with six wins from their last seven league games propelling them into third-place.
Eddie Howe's side have been handed another home draw against his former employers and fellow Premier League rivals AFC Bournemouth in the next round.
