Defending EFL Cup champions Manchester United host Newcastle in the fourth round of this year's competition, with the Magpies looking for revenge for last season's final.
The two clubs met at Wembley last season as Erik ten Hag won his first silverware with the Red Devils, topping Newcastle 2-0 to capture the trophy.
The Magpies got revenge by the same scoreline in April to bag a win in league play en route to securing a Champions League place, but knocking Man United out of the competition the following year would be a more appropriate retribution.
Both clubs are riddled with injuries and other various selection issues, which have led to a run of spotty results for the two sides which are both looking for more stability after a successful previous campaign.

What time does Man United vs Newcastle kick off?
This EFL Cup fourth round match at Old Trafford kicks off on Wednesday, November 1 at 8:15 p.m. local time in Manchester. Here's how that time translates across some of the major territories around the globe.
Be advised, the UK has transitioned back to GMT one week before the United States hits Daylight Savings, and therefore kickoff times are slightly awry from their usual slot, as the time differences are somewhat skewed.
For example, the east coast of the United States and Canada is usually five hours earlier than the UK, but for this one week they are four hours apart.

Man United vs Newcastle projected lineups & team news
Manchester United have a long injury list to contend with, as do their counterparts in this match.
Most notably, South American stars Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez are both struggling with injuries. The Brazilian midfielder is set for a possible return in this match, having missed out the last few games after picking up an ankle injury on international duty, but Casemiro could be set to see the field in this game. His Argentine counterpart, however, will not play until the new year after an operation on his foot.
Alongside those players are long-term absentees Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw – with all both defenders out at least until the November international break. Aaron Wan-Bissaka could be in line to return for a cameo against Newcastle. Sergio Reguilon has come off the bench in the past few matches and could be a contender to start, while Kobbie Mainoo appears to have shaken off his preseason injury, making the bench against Man City over the weekend.
Man United projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Onana (GK) — Dalot, Maguire, Varane, Reguilon — Mount, McTominay — Fernandes, Mejbri, Garnacho — Martial.
This match begins the long 10-month ban for key Newcastle midfield acquisition Sandro Tonali who will play no further part this season or in the summer's international tournament after triggering a gambling ban.
Eddie Howe is also without key defender Sven Botman and in-form striker Alexander Isak. The former seemed set to return soon from a knee injury, but has remained sidelined longer than expected, while the latter is out for at least through the November international break thanks to a groin problem.
Other injury absences include Jacob Murphy, Harvey Barnes, and Elliot Anderson all of whom will miss at least the majority of November, with Anderson out until the new year thanks to a back issue. Eddie Howe may be tempted to rotate his squad in this match heavily to protect his remaining healthy first-choice players, but it's tough to predict who will remain and who will step aside.
Newcastle projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Dubravka (GK) — Livramento, Dummett, Schar, Hall — Longstaff, Joelinton, Willock — Almiron, C. Wilson, Gordon.
