Hello and welcome to Eurosport's live coverage of Newport and Newcastle in the Carabao Cup.

Newport need to get tighter to Newcastle. Murphy has room to put a cross into the box that fell to Carroll in the box but he could not get a shot off.

Longstaff has an effort from 25 yards out. We know he can hit them from there but he gets way under it and it flies high over the bar.

Newport get us underway...

The eighth game in 25 days for Newport so they are certainly not rusty.

Newcastle are available at around 1/2 on to win tonight, with Newport backable at 6/1 and the draw perhaps a tempting 3/1. Remember it goes straight to penalties after 90 minutes.

Newport won the last game the two played 4-2 back in 1947 - you'd imagine they'd settle for that tonight. Perhaps more noteworthy is their recent Cup record which includes a 2-1 win over Leicester in the FA Cup last year.

Newport, who have started League 2 in great form with two wins out of three, have got two changes from the side who won at Bolton at the weekend, with Scot Bennett and Padraig Amond coming in for Joss Labadie and Tristan Abrahams.

Newcastle are starting with four players who began their game against Tottenham at the weekend: Javier Manquillo, Federico Fernandez, Miguel Almiron and Jonjo Shelvey, while Sunday's subs Jamal Lewis, Jacob Murphy and Andy Carroll are all in the first XI.

It looks like it will be slippery conditions at Rodney Parade. Very much in the favour of the underdogs you'd think.

And here are the hosts who are hoping to cause a major upset.

This is how the Magpies are lining up...
