Newcastle will hope to keep the hope of a double double cup in the houses tonight if you visit Birmingham in the fourth round of the FA Cup League One.
The Magpies defeated Arsenal on Wednesday evening 2-0 to secure a 4-0 overall victory and a place in the EFL Cup final against Liverpool.
However, you will not find it easy in St. Andrew’s if Chris Davies’ team runs well after a few strong investments in the club’s player.
Birmingham has been undefeated in all competitions since November 23 and has four points in the English third stage, two games in the hand.
