The Magpies have failed to reach the last eight of either major domestic cup since 2006 and fans will demand a valiant push tonight.

Dwight Gayle could be the centre of attention at the Hawthorns having starred on loan for the Baggies last season.

The striker bagged 23 goals in 39 Championship games but proved too costly to sign on a permanent deal last summer.

West Brom were stunned at the weekend after a defeat to struggling Wigan, but remain six points clear of third-place Fulham as they hunt down a return to the Premier League.

Who will win? RadioTimes.com predicts…

Away ties at leading Championship teams are among the trickiest fixtures to navigate.

So many Premier League teams have fallen at this hurdle, particularly those in the lower half, with negligible difference in quality and the second-tier side brimming with confidence.

Newcastle have struggled for goals in recent games, they have failed to break teams down, and could be in for a stern test here.

Gayle has the knack of finding the net against Championship teams, and could do again, but West Brom will feel confident of nicking this one.
