Newcastle vs Bromley
Newcastle will host Bromley in the FA Cup third round on Sunday 12th January. The game can be seen live on the BBC Red Button or BBC Iplayer and kicks off at 3pm. Check out our match preview and best bets below.
Harvey Barnes to Score (17/10 with BetMGM)
Newcastle are expected to make wholesale changes to their starting XI on Sunday and one player who should feature from the off is Harvey Barnes. The 27-year-old has mainly been used as a substitute in the Premier League this season and has only started six matches.
Barnes has five goals in 778 minutes of league football this term and has a healthy average of 3.2 shots per 90 minutes. At 17/10 he stands out in the anytime scorer market in a game where the hosts could rack up the goals.
Correct Score Newcastle 3-0 (6/1 with BetMGM)
Bromley are enjoying themselves in their first ever League Two campaign and sit 12th in the table. However, on their most recent outing, they lost 4-1 to Crewe and must improve defensively not to embarrass themselves at St James’ Park.
Newcastle are on a high after the 2-0 win at Arsenal in their EFL Cup semi-final first leg midweek and have now won seven consecutive matches across all competitions. There is a positive feeling around the team at the moment, and plenty of players will want to make a case on Sunday as to why they should be regular starters. The gulf in quality between these two sides is massive and a comfortable home win should be on the cards.

How both teams go into Newcastle vs Bromley
Last season marked a significant breakthrough for Newcastle, as they were not eliminated in the FA Cup third round—a fate they experienced in the three previous campaigns. However, Eddie Howe’s team was stopped by eventual finalist Manchester City in the quarter-finals. Newcastle, a six-time champion, last triumphed in the FA Cup in 1955. Since then, they have made three appearances in the final, the most recent being in 1999, when Manchester United defeated them 2-0 on their way to a famous treble.
Bromley of League Two will be aiming for a famous upset, as they are competing in the FA Cup third round for the first time. Remarkably, in their last 17 entries, they were eliminated in the first round each time. Andy Woodman’s team finally broke that streak with a 4-3 victory against Rochdale and then made history with a 2-1 win over Solihull Moors—both victories coming away from home.
