InfoSports presents the predicted lineups for the match between Everton and Newcastle United in the fourth round of the English League Cup at Everton’s stadium. The predictions are based on the last official starting lineup for each team, excluding announced absences, and may change due to injury or rotation.
Match Time and Broadcasting Channels
The match will be played on Thursday, 29 October 2026, at the following times:
- Morocco and Algeria: 20:45
- Egypt and Saudi Arabia: 22:45
The match will be broadcast on beIN SPORTS 1 in the Middle East, North Africa, France, and Europe, and on Arena Sport 1 in Germany and Croatia.
Key Absences
- Newcastle United: Evan Gowan — injured (hamstring injury), Tino Livramento — injured (knee injury).
Gowan is absent from Newcastle’s squad; he is one of the attacking elements, which may prompt the coach to rely on the same group that played the last match.
Everton’s Predicted Lineup
Everton are likely to enter the match with the same formation they used in their last official match against Arsenal on 24 October 2026, which is 4-2-3-1.
- Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford
- Defence: M. Röhl, J. Tarkowski (captain), J. O’Brien, Vitaliy Mykolenko
- Midfield: H. Armstrong, James Garner, B. Johnson, K. Dewsbury-Hall, T. George
- Attack: T. Barry
Newcastle United’s Predicted Lineup
Newcastle are expected to maintain the 4-2-3-1 formation they used against Crystal Palace on 25 October 2026, excluding the injured players.
- Goalkeeper: Lukáš Horníček
- Defence: A. Dedić, F. Schär, D. Burn (captain), Lewis Hall
- Midfield: Nico González, Joelinton, Jacob Murphy, J. Willock
- Attack: H. Barnes, W. Osula
Gowan and Livramento are absent for Newcastle, and the data does not indicate specific substitutes from the last lineup, meaning changes may be limited.
