Newcastle United XI vs Millwall – Predicted lineup and team news

Newcastle United travel to Millwall in the Carabao Cup third round on Tuesday, looking to book a place in the last 16 as they continue an unbeaten start to life under Matthias Jaissle.

A place at The Den is never straightforward for visiting Premier League sides, and the German head coach has already been warned about the hostile reception awaiting his side in Bermondsey.

Jaissle’s side head into the tie sitting seventh in the Premier League after four games without defeat, though a place in the fourth round would offer a first taste of cup progress under the new head coach following last month’s win over West Bromwich Albion. With a decent gap before Newcastle’s next league fixture, Jaissle has options over how far he rotates his side.

Newcastle will be without Dan Burn, Joelinton and Will Osula for the trip to south-east London. Ewen Jaouen is a doubt in goal after rolling his ankle in training on 4 September, with Jaissle saying a decision on his availability will not be made until closer to kick-off. Tino Livramento, who made his first appearance since April off the bench against Bournemouth, is also not yet ready to start; asked directly if he’d be ready, Jaissle replied simply, “No.”

Deadline-day arrival Matias Fernandez-Pardo is in line for his first start for the club after joining from Lille. Jacob Murphy, Jacob Ramsey, Bazoumana Toure, Aladji Bamba and Fabian Schär are among those pushing for involvement having had limited game time so far this season, while Sean Steur is likely to return to the side after a positive cameo against Bournemouth. Jaissle said of his selection: “There’s always a fine line to make these decisions.”
