On Wednesday, December 17, Newcastle United will take on Fulham in the EFL Cup quarterfinals, with kickoff scheduled for 3:15 p.m. ET (12:15 p.m. PT). The match will be held at St. James’ Park, where the Magpies will aim to defend their title against a fellow Premier League team.
Newcastle will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing 0-1 loss to their local rivals, Sunderland, in the Premier League over the weekend, a match that saw an own goal from German striker Nick Woltemade hand the victory to Sunderland. Meanwhile, Fulham comes into this match on a high, having secured a vital 3-2 away victory against Burnley thanks to a stunning second-half strike from Harry Wilson.
This matchup marks Fulham’s first encounter with Premier League opposition in this year’s EFL Cup, following earlier wins against lower-league teams such as Bristol City, Cambridge United, and Wycombe Wanderers.
