Interesting info here.

Newcastle United is performing very well this season. They are a very difficult to beat, with lot of quality, the best defense in the league (just 11 goals conceded) and have lost just one game of 18 played.

They are clearly the positive surprise of the season, and the squad is full of confidence now.

For this quarter finals of the EFL Cup, coach Eddie Howe has confirmed that key players Callum Wilson, Fabian Schar and Nick Pope will return after rests.

Most probably he will use practically the team that battered Leicester at the King Power stadium just two weeks ago, only Wood started instead of Wilson that day.

Newcastle are coming from a defeat against Sheffield so players are motivated to achieve another victory.

On the other hand, Leicester has many troubles for this game. They are 13th in the league, just two points above relegation so most probably will be focused in that.

For this fixture they have many players out. Coach Rogers criticized the team due to lack of transfers, spending 10 million pounds in the last years, while others like Newcastle spent 250. He said that he “is not a magician”.

“You have to look at the reality of it," added Rodgers. "It's so important for every club that supporters can dream, but there is a reality to it and a reason why the trophies have been won in the main by the biggest clubs with the biggest resources, that's natural.

They will use the same squad as at the weekend, without rest, because coach Rodgers has several players out for injuries: James Maddison, Jonny Evans, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Boubakary Soumare, Ricardo Pereira, James Justin, Dennis Praet and Ryan Bertrand.

Newcastle is clearly the better team here and also the most motivated one. They will also be better physically. And all of this should be enough to see a home win.

这里有有趣的信息。

纽卡斯尔联队本赛季表现很好。他们是一支很难被击败的球队，有着很高的水平，联赛中最好的防守(只丢了11球)，并且在18场比赛中只输了一场。

他们显然是本赛季的惊喜，球队现在充满了信心。

在这场EFL杯四分之一决赛中，主教练埃迪·豪已经确认，关键球员卡勒姆·威尔逊、法比安·沙尔和尼克·波普将在休息后回归。

最有可能的是，他将使用两周前在国王权力体育场击败莱斯特城的球队，只是那天首发的是伍德而不是威尔逊。

纽卡斯尔刚刚输掉了对谢菲尔德的比赛，所以球员们有动力去取得另一场胜利。

另一方面，莱斯特城在这场比赛中遇到了很多麻烦。他们在联赛中排名第13位，只比保级高出2分，所以他们很可能会专注于这一点。

在这场比赛中他们有许多球员缺阵。罗杰斯教练批评球队缺乏转会，在过去几年花了1000万英镑，而纽卡斯尔等球队花了250万英镑。他说自己“不是魔术师”。

罗杰斯说:“你必须正视现实。“这对每个俱乐部来说都很重要，球迷可以梦想，但这是现实的，这也是为什么奖杯主要由拥有最大资源的最大俱乐部赢得的原因，这是很自然的。

他们将使用与周末相同的阵容，没有休息，因为主教练罗杰斯有几名球员因伤缺阵:詹姆斯·麦迪森，乔尼·埃文斯，基尔南·杜斯伯里-霍尔，布巴卡里·索马雷，里卡多·佩雷拉，詹姆斯·贾斯汀，丹尼斯·普雷特和瑞安·伯特兰。

纽卡斯尔显然是这里更好的球队，也是最积极的球队。他们的身体也会更好。所有这些应该足以让我们看到一个主场获胜。
