2026-2027 Carabao Cup: Everton vs. Newcastle, Probable Lineups

Everton hosts Newcastle on Thursday evening at 8:45 p.m. at Hill Dickinson Stadium in a Carabao Cup fourth-round match. The hosts are coming off two consecutive Premier League losses to Chelsea and Arsenal and are looking to the Carabao Cup as an opportunity to regain confidence. The Magpies, on the other hand, enter the match on the heels of a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace. At stake is a spot in the quarterfinals, where the winner will face Fleetwood Town, a fourth-division English side that knocked out English champions Arsenal on penalty kicks.

David Moyes is expected to rely on Thierno Barry as the main striker, with Dibling and George among the possible new additions on the wings. In midfield, Hackney could start from the opening whistle, while Mykolenko’s availability on the left flank remains to be seen.

Newcastle is expected to start Osula as the striker, with Elanga and Barnes among the options on the wings. In midfield, Ramsey could start, while Hornicek is expected to start in goal.
