On Tuesday night, Newcastle United will host AFC Wimbledon, a team from League Two, at St. James’ Park in an effort to qualify for the fourth round of the English Football Cup. The Newcastle vs Wimbledon match will kick off at 19:45 UK Time.
It was widely anticipated that Newcastle would rank among the top English teams when the Saudi Arabian fund acquired the club almost three years ago. Eddie Howe’s squad only managed 11 points after six rounds of the 2024/25 season, when they finished sixth the previous year. Newcastle and Manchester City fought to a 1-1 draw at home in the last round of the Premier League. Despite more attempts on goal and controlling the ball, the visitors could not score, and Newcastle held on to earn a draw.
Following a 10th-place finish last season, many analysts anticipated that Wimbledon would again be a mid-table contender in League Two. After six matches, they have accumulated 13 points and are positioned in a playoff zone. Wimbledon remains unbeaten in their last six games. They drew 0-0 away at Bradford City in the last match. The guests lacked offensive presence, yet their defensive performance was commendable, allowing Johnnie Jackson’s team to secure another point.
