Carabao Cup:
Everton (a)

Newcastle are in Carabao Cup Fourth Round action on Thursday against the Toffees at Hill Dickinson Stadium - their second-ever visit, following a 4-1 Premier League success there last season.

It's a 7.45pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports+. If the scores are level after 90 minutes the tie will be settled on penalties.

The Quarter-final draw takes place on Wednesday evening after 10pm, meaning that Newcastle and Everton will know the identity of their possible opponents before this tie.

The visitors will be backed by 7,732 fans - United's largest away support since 7,800 were at Manchester City for the FA Cup Sixth Round in March 2024 (excepting Wembley).

This will be only the second time that these two sides have met in the League Cup; the first seeing them share six goals at Gallowgate in the Third Round during 2002 before Everton advanced in the penalty shootout that followed.

This pairing means that the Toffees and Magpies will face each other at least four times this season: Everton winning a pre-season kickabout 3-1 at Murrayfield in August.

Following the Premier League home meeting in November, United return to merseyside in the PL next February.


Team: Ewen Jaouen and Tino Livramento remain out, while Lewis Miley and Mathias Fernandez-Pardo are doubtful.

The Magpies reached this stage of the competition thanks to victories over Championship opposition - a 3-2 home win over West Bromwich Albion and a 1-0 success at Millwall.

Coral rate this tie as follows:

NUFC win 15/8
The draw after 90 minutes 5/2
EFC win 11/8

EFC: To follow

The Toffees made it into the Fourth Round by defeating a pair of second tier sides, winning 4-0 at Preston North End and 1-0 at home to Wolves.

Referee: Farai Hallam - a first-ever game involving Newcastle for the Surrey official, who made his bow at Premier League level back in January.

From NUFC, Tuesday:

Newcastle City Council is set to award its highest honour, the Freedom of the City, posthumously to Newcastle United legend Kevin Keegan.

Members will vote on the motion during a special council meeting on Wednesday, 4 November. If approved, it will mark the first time Newcastle City Council has awarded its highest civic distinction posthumously. Following approval, Keegan’s name will be permanently inscribed on the wall of the Civic Centre’s Banqueting Hall alongside fellow honorary freemen.

Keegan will join an exclusive group of awardees, including other Newcastle United figures Alan Shearer, Sir Bobby Robson, Jackie Milburn and more recently Eddie Howe. The club itself was awarded the Freedom of the City in the 1990s after celebrating its centenary year.

Council Leader Cllr Colin Ferguson originally nominated Keegan for the honour in June. Keegan and his family were informed the following month of the decision to recognise his outstanding contribution to the city. Sadly, he passed away in July before the award could be considered in public and formally presented.

David Hopkinson, Newcastle United’s CEO, said: “Kevin Keegan will always be, quite simply, one of the most important, influential and beloved figures in the history of Newcastle United.

“His impact on our club, our city and generations of supporters is immeasurable. As both a player and manager, he helped shape some of the most memorable chapters in our history and created a bond with Newcastle that leaves a true legacy.

“The proposal to make Kevin an Honorary Freeman of Newcastle, the highest civic honour, is a fitting recognition for one of the city’s greatest icons.”

Cllr Colin Ferguson, leader of Newcastle City Council, said: “We were all deeply saddened to learn of Kevin Keegan’s death in July, and you could see from the enormous amount of tributes left outside St James’ Park what he meant to the city and the footballing world. The stories that have been shared about Kevin and the impact he made have been inspiring and show just how much he was loved not only by our city, but across the world.

“You don’t have to be a football fan to understand the impact that Kevin had on the city, on both occasions at a time when it was needed the most.

“As a player, he helped put Newcastle United and the city back in the spotlight, with a two-time Ballon d’Or winner joining a then Second Division side. And then as a manager, he brought so much joy to thousands of fans with his style of play, with people from around the world falling in love with the team.

“Kevin will forever be a hero to Newcastle United supporters for his achievements and the lasting legacy he leaves behind. The proposal to posthumously bestow the Honorary Freedom of Newcastle on Kevin is a fitting tribute to everything he gave to our city, and I hope council members will support it when they consider the motion."

In a statement, the Keegan family said: “Kevin always shared his love for Newcastle United, Geordies and the city, captivating us with stories told with his infectious smile.

“Seeing the tributes brought those stories to life for Kevin’s grandchildren, showing them how deeply their grandfather was loved in return. It also allowed us a quiet moment to reflect on many fond memories of Kevin’s incredible career and the incomparable bond he shared with Newcastle.”

From NUFC, Tuesday:

Newcastle United is pleased to announce the appointment of Tomás Amaral as the club's new Head of First Team Recruitment.

Tomás arrives with extensive experience across European football, having built a reputation for talent identification, market intelligence and strategic squad planning through roles in Portugal, Spain and Russia.

The Portuguese was most recently Sporting Director at Spartak Moscow. He previously held a scouting leadership position at Benfica, where he played a key role during a period that culminated in the club’s most recent Primeira Liga title in 2023.

Tomás’ appointment forms part of Newcastle United's ongoing strengthening of its talent identification and recruitment structure. Reporting to Sporting Director Ross Wilson, Tomás will lead the club's first team scouting operation and will play an important role in further expanding the club's market presence and relationships across key territories.

As part of the department's evolution, Paul Midgley will also report directly to Ross Wilson in overseeing Academy recruitment and global emerging talent scouting.

Sporting Director Ross Wilson said: “Tomás' appointment is an important step as we reshape and strengthen our recruitment structure.

“It was important that we identified a leader who could further enhance our capability and help drive our long-term ambitions, and Tomás has established an excellent reputation for his strategic approach to talent identification.

“He is highly respected across European football and brings significant experience, outstanding market knowledge and a strong network of relationships.

“I am delighted to welcome him to Newcastle United and look forward to working closely with him.”

Tomás said: “It is with great pride and a strong sense of responsibility that I join Newcastle United, a historic club with passionate supporters who have high expectations and ambitions.

“From my very first conversations with Ross Wilson, I immediately understood the vision and the direction the club wants to take over the coming years.

“I strongly share the ideas and ambitions of the people at the club, and I am determined to play my part in contributing to Newcastle United’s success. I am really looking forward to meeting everyone and getting started at a club with such high standards.”

U18s:
Bairns beaten by Boro

Boro U18s  3  Newcastle U18s  1

United's youngsters lost for only the second time this season on Saturday, beaten by their Teesside counterparts at a blustery and drizzly Hurworth.

The hosts went ahead on 24 minutes when good work down the left by Joey Tremain saw him send over a low centre that was turned home by Billy Linacre.

That lead was short-lived however; Chris Moore's side levelling in the 31st minute when Jack Skelton's low left-footed strike from 25 yards out found the bottom corner.

Boro regained the advantage four minutes after half time; Alfie Brown in the right place to force home Finlay Turner's cross from the left at the back post.

United came close to levelling three minutes later when top scorer Alfie Hutchison headed Skelton's cross off the bar, before Brown's second of the game opened up a two goal lead for the home side on 57 minutes.

Second in the table on goal difference before kick-off to Manchester City, a 5-1 success for the Citizens at Derby County then left the Magpies trailing by three points.

ST holders have 24 hours to apply for away tickets, 24 hours for success to be determined, then 48 hours to buy.


Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.

Regardless of the loyalty point level a game sells out at, to purchase a ticket you must have applied in the initial 24 hour window.

The initial purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above that point division usually get two hours head start.

NB: emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase window opens - if you think you qualify due to your points total, log on and complete your purchase. 

Tickets not bought by successful applicants are then offered to unsuccessful applicants with a reduced loyalty points total - new applications cannot be made at this time.

Only those within the new loyalty point total are eligible to buy - even if you had more, your purchase window has already closed.  

PL away ticket prices are unchanged at £30 for the 2026/27 and 2027/28 seasons.

On This Day in History
26th October


Born Or Died:

1942 Death of Jack Dowsey, 37.
(1924-26)

1947 Dennis Martin born, Edinburgh, Scotland. (1977-78)

Winger signed from Kettering Town by West Bromwich Albion, later joining an upwardly mobile Carlisle United - where he scored their last goal in Division One.

Martin arrived on Tyneside in October 1977 at a cost of £40K - one of the few moves soon-to-be-ex-boss Richard Dinnis was able to make in the transfer market.

A goal on his debut at Manchester United couldn't prevent his new side from losing 3-2 and his first home start against Bristol City saw another goal in a 1-1 draw.

However with the team anchored to the bottom of the league, Martin dropped out of the picture after Christmas and by March 1978 had been left for Mansfield Town.

Finishing his playing career at Kettering via a spell out in Denmark with Fremad Amager (near Copenhagen). He then settled in Northamptonshire, working in insurance.

1962 Death of Willie Bertram, 64.
(1920-21)

1972 Lee Clark born, Wallsend.
(1988-97 & 2005-06, Coach 2006-07)

A product of Wallsend Boys Club, midfielder Lee captained England at schoolboy and youth level, netting a hat trick for the former in a 4-1 win over Italy at Wembley in May 1988. 

Making his reserve team bow aged 15, Clark was handed a senior debut by United boss Jim Smith at Bristol City in September 1990, scoring his first goal at Wolves two months later.

Regularly watched by a Liverpool scout in his early games, Clark blossomed as one of a crop of locals fielded by manager Ossie Ardiles during his brief SJP reign.

The first of Lee's 11 England U21 caps came against Czechoslovakia in May 1992 alongside future Magpie colleagues Andy Cole and Paul Kitson.

Part of the 1992/93 promotion winning side, Clark was a valuable squad member in the Premier League, although a perceived lack of scoring prowess saw him unkindly christened "jigsaw" in the United dressing room (ie goes to pieces in the box).

And although he scored the first goal of Kenny Dalglish's toon tenure (in an FA Cup replay win over Charlton at SJP), Clark wasn't favoured by the Scot and joined the mackems for £2.75m - their record signing at the time.

Helping them return to the top flight in his second season there, Lee's trip to support Newcastle at Wembley Stadium in May 1999 was memorable - and not for the result, a 0-2 loss for the Toon.

Donning a T-shirt emblazoned with the motto "sad mackem b*stards" and then posing for photos made a return to wearside unwise and he joined Fulham in a £3m deal.

In almost six years as a Cottager, Clark was a popular figure on and off the field, but was afflicted with Achilles injuries in both legs, which restricted his availability.

Released by Fulham in 2005, Lee was then spotted at Newcastle's pre-season training sessions, later rejoining the Magpies on a month-to-month contract. 

Regaining fitness, he returned to the side and added one more goal to his Toon tally - a late leveller at home to Boro that granted Graeme Souness a stay of execution. 

What would be his final appearance came from the bench in the closing stages of a 1-0 home win over Chelsea during May 2006.

Remaining at the club as part of Glenn Roeder's coaching staff, Clark replaced Tommy Craig as reserve boss when Roeder was appointed permanently.

Retaining that role under successor Sam Allardyce, Clark was reunited with Glenn Roeder in November 2007, becoming his assistant at Norwich City.

After just over a year at Carrow Road however, Clark became a manager in his own right with Huddersfield Town - enlisting Terry McDermott to assist him.

2009 saw his Terriers side face Newcastle in a home friendly, just weeks before the two sides met again at SJP in the League Cup - something that obviously gave him great pride, although attempting to downplay matters to the press.

The 2010/11 season saw Clark guide Town to third in the league and victory over Bournemouth to reach the play-off final, losing 0-3 to Peterborough at Old Trafford.

However, he continued their unbeaten league record into the following campaign and celebrated his 39th birthday in the week that the Terriers made it 40 games.

That run eventually spanned 43 games but the Terriers hierarchy were nervous about another promotion campaign faltering, after Clark had convinced them not to sell top scorer Jordan Rhodes.

A dispute with his Chairman saw Lee exit in early 2012 but he was soon back in football, replacing Chris Hughton at Birmingham City when he joined Norwich City.

Bringing in familiar faces Terry McDermott, Steve Watson and Derek Fazackerley to assist him at St. Andrew's, Lee persuaded Peter Lovenkrands to join following his release by Newcastle that summer.

Adding SJP old boy Darren Ambrose, Clark returned to his former club to loan Shane Ferguson, City ultimately ending up 12th.

Fergie then returned to City the following season as Lee survived Birmingham's poorest start to a season in 25 years.

City avoided relegation in dramatic fashion but Clark was sacked in October 2014 with Blues once again in relegation trouble.

He then surprisingly swapped one disaster area for another, joining Championship crisis club, Blackpool. That ended in an inevitable relegation for the Seasiders and Clark's exit from Bloomfield Road in May 2015.

Appointed Kilmarnock manager in February 2016, he led them to play-off success over Falkirk, preserving their SPL status.

A year to the day that he arrived at Rugby Park though Clark was gone, leaving to take charge of League One strugglers Bury.

Three days after his 45th birthday his time at Gigg Lane was over, sacked after four straight defeats.

Appointed manager of Blyth Spartans in June 2019, he stood down the following March.

Later becoming Director of Football at ambitious local league side Newcastle Blue Star, Clark also had a brief stint managing Sudanese side Al-Merreikh SC.

He was briefly at Al-Ittihad before a return to Al-Merreikh, but again that proved to be short-lived.

Next up for Clarky was the Rotherham United job on a short-term basis in March 2026 but he left in May following their demotion from League One.

A move take charge at National League Hartlepool United followed, but by September he had resigned.

Clark's son Bobby followed in his footsteps by joining United's Academy, but was tempted by Liverpool in 2021 aged 16 - making his Premier League bow a year later.

He signed for Red Bull Salzburg in 2024 but by 2025 was back in England, on loan at Derby County - a move that later became permanent.

1982 Carl Heiniger born, Belfast, Northern Ireland. (1997-2002)

Northern Ireland youth international midfielder Carl was with Manchester United from the age of six until 14 before making the move to Tyneside.

Playing junior and reserve level football for Newcastle, Heiniger was released in 2002 and had a trial with Bradford City before enrolling at Bath Unversity.

Combining his studies with playing for Team Bath, Carl and his side gained national recognition as the first University team since Oxford University in 1880 to reach the First Round Proper of the FA Cup.

Bath lost 2-4 to Mansfield Town in a tie shown live by the BBC in November 2002, Heiniger netting  with a memorable strike.

A move to German side Hessen Kassel didn't work out and after a trial with Darlington, Heiny went on a grand tour of Northern non-league clubs, including: Bishop Auckland, Durham City, Seaham Red Star, Newcastle Benfield, Newcastle Blue Star, Workington, Barrow, Lancaster City, Gateshead, York City, Whitby Town, Team Northumbria, Dunston Fed, Consett, Nissan, Morpeth Town and Durham City.

Persistent injury problems forced Carl out of football, but he can still be found playing golf at Beamish Park.

1986 Matty Pattison born, Johannesburg, South Africa. (2004-08)

Midfielder who joined Newcastle's Academy at the age of 14 and impressed at youth an reserve level, despite a lack of pace. 

His first team debut came in as sub in a pre -season friendly at Celtic in 2004, with our squad weakened by an eye infection - just days before, he'd been on the bench for the reserves at Shildon.

However, he then suffered a cruciate injury in training and missed most of that season, before returning to fitness - and then falling victim to the same injury in a youth game.

Another period of rehab followed before he made his senior competitive debut at home to Everton as a late sub, in February 2006.

The United manager in charge that day was Glenn Roeder, and after being appointed as Norwich City manager, he returned to SJP and took 'Patter' on loan in December 2007.

A move to Carrow Road was made permanent the following year and became a Canaries regular, scoring his first senior goal against Nottingham Forest in November 2008.

Matty had made the headlines earlier that year when arrested for drink driving, reportedly waking up after a heavy night and believing he was late for training, jumping into his car while still over the limit.

Unfortunately it was Sunday morning - and although City weren't training, the Norfolk Constabulary were on duty and spotted the player driving erratically.

August 2009 saw the player leave Norwich, moving to Mamelodi Sundowns in his native South Africa, for an undisclosed fee.

When questioned about the move, Matty admitted that he was motivated by the chance of being selected for South African World Cup squad and believed he'd stand a better chance as a home-based player.

However, that failed to happen and despite one international call-up - against Swaziland in January 2010 - Pattison failed to make it into his nation's Finals squad.

By early 2012 Matty was looking for a new club and was reported to be on trial with Dynamo Moscow before turning up at Leeds United and netting during a practice game against Newcastle Reserves.

No contract offer was forthcoming at Elland Road however and after a further stint at Hibernian, Pattison returned to South Africa and subsequently appeared for both Santos and Bidvest Wits.

A further attempt at restarting his career in England then saw Matty appear for MK Dons on trial in 2014. That didn't work out but by October he'd teamed up with former SJP colleagues Adam Bartlett, Craig Baxter, Carl Finnigan and Lewis Guy at Gateshead. 

Failing to inspire a promotion push from the Tynesiders, Pattison left the International Stadium in the summer of 2016 and was signed by Blyth Spartans.

Joining South Shields in May 2017, he later played and coached at Whickham becoming Gateshead's Academy coach for a time before resuming backroom duties at South Shields.

A stuttering display from his side saw Alan Pardew become the first Newcastle manager since Joe Harvey in 1967 to endure back to back Tyne-wear derby defeats.

Steven Fletcher headed home after an early corner wasn't dealt with, but after Mathieu Debuchy levelled with his first goal for the club, disaster seemed to have been averted.

However, a
disputed free kick on the halfway line proved to our undoing, future Magpie Jack Colback involved in the move that saw loan striker Fabio Borini beat Tim Krul to give Gus Poyet his first win.

United moved off the bottom of the table thanks to a clean sheet at St. Mary's, but there were few positives to take from the 646 mile round trip to Hampshire.

Martin Dubravka made some vital stops to keep his goal intact but his counterpart Alex McCarthy had nothing to save, United failing to get a single effort on target.

Sean Longstaff became the third Magpie to be sent off at SJP against Wolves in as many games, as his side almost turned victory into defeat.

A decent first half display was capped by a header from Jamaal Lascelles but a Wolves side suffering a hangover from Europa League exertions duly took advantage of our laxity.

Martin Dubravka's ill-advised flap allowed Casto Otto to volley in, before Longstaff was dismissed for a high challenge on Ruben Neves - whose histrionics swayed referee Kevin Friend into brandishin
g a red card.

Newcastle's winless Premier League run extended to five games after a defeat at Stamford Bridge due in part to lax defending by the visitors.

Cole Palmer's sublime pass began the move that led to Chelsea's opener, before an equally admirable team move ended with Alexander Isak scoring his second goal of the season.

However, Palmer struck just 75 seconds after the interval and United were unable to find a second leveller - a VAR review in the closing seconds ruling out a Chelsea penalty that had been awarded onfield.
