"The 51,660 crowd for the third round tie against Crystal Palace, which United won on penalties, was the club's largest ever home attendance in League Cup competition."

Newcastle may have a chance of beating that record against the Cherries. Newcastle still have tickets on general sale for the friendly against Rayo Vallecano just a few days before Bournemouth's visit.

Speaking about the clash with Bournemouth, Eddie Howe said: "The draw always sparks up games of real interest and, for us, it's really good to be home and it will be a difficult game.

"The longer we can stay in this competition, that's something we really, really want to do. We're desperate to get to the latter stages and then, as everyone knows, anything can happen. We'll focus on the Bournemouth game, trying to give our best to win."
