Newcastle United host League Two side Bromley in the third round of the FA Cup this weekend hoping to continue a fine run of form that sees them still competing in three competitions.
The Magpies made it seven wins in a row on Tuesday with a 2-0 victory away at Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-finals while they have propelled themselves up the table in the Premier League. Eddie Howe’s men now sit fifth and have their sights set on the Champions League spots while hoping to progress in both cup competitions. Howe is expected to switch things up and name a wildly different team to the one that faced the Gunners during the week.
Bromley, meanwhile, managed to achieve a marvellous feat and set up a match against Newcastle. This is the first time in their history that they’ve reached the third round of the competition having won a seven-goal thriller at non-league Rochdale in early November before edging past Solihull Moors in the West Midlands.
Newcastle United vs Bromley will kick off at 3pm GMT on Sunday 12 January at St. James’ Park in Newcastle, England.

Even with the expected changes in personnel, Newcastle should have enough quality to make this a simple outing and one for the fringe members of the squad to enjoy.
