Newcastle United have started their new Premier League season with a win and a draw in the two matches. Now, the Magpies are focusing on the Carabao Cup as they face Nottingham Forest in an away fixture. At the start of the season, Bruno Guimaraes became new Newcastle United captain and revealed his dream to win a trophy at the St. James Park.
Two years ago, Eddie Howe's side came very close to achieving their dream as they reached the final of the Carabao Cup but faced a 2-0 defeat against Manchester United. Last season, the Magpies won matches against Sunderland, Fulham and Blackburn but were defeated 2-0 by Premier League Champions Manchester City. Thus, Newcastle United want to improve this season in the Carabao Cup to reach the final again and win the title in this season.
Newcastle United face Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup
Thus, the first match of their Carabao Cup is against Nottingham Forest, who have taken a win and a draw from their first two matches. Last season, Forest took a massive 3-1 win over the Magpies in the Premier League at the St. James Park. In the away fixture, Eddie Howe's side took a 3-2 win that included a brace from Bruno Guimaraes.
Hence, Newcastle United need to perform well in the match to take a win and advance further in the Carabao Cup. Manager Eddie Howe needs to start his star players in the game so that the Magpies take a massive win and continue their winning momentum throughout the season. Also, Newcastle United need to sign a new centre back and another forward to bolster their squad for this season.
