Comments and predictions for Wimbledon vs Newcastle: Home team to lose

Following their first defeat of the 2024-25 season, Newcastle United look to make amends in Tuesday's Carabao Cup third round tie against AFC Wimbledon.

Eddie Howe's side's unbeaten run ended with a 3-1 defeat to Fulham in Saturday's Premier League game, while the fourth-tier hosts played out a goalless draw with Bradford City.

One positive Newcastle can take from their defeat to Fulham is that they have no injuries, leaving Lewis Miley (leg), Callum Wilson (back), Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman (both knee) in the treatment room.

Howe picked a strong line-up in the second-round win over Nottingham Forest, but there will certainly be plenty of changes for this one, especially as they face Manchester City at the weekend.

Sandro Tonali, Lewis Hall, Jacob Murphy and Miguel Almiron are therefore likely to be included in the visitors' starting line-up, while Martin Dubravka should replace Nick Pope in goal; new signing Odysseas Vlachodimos remains out.

Wimbledon also got through the draw with Bradford City without any injuries, although captain Jake Reeves picked up an ankle injury in the big win over MK Dons earlier this month and was ruled out of Saturday's game.

Jackson revealed before the game that the 31-year-old's problem had settled quickly, so it is likely he will return to captain on Tuesday, but the hosts are in good shape overall.

After his outstanding performance in the win over Ipswich, 20-year-old goalkeeper Goodman will now hope to draw inspiration from Dean Henderson's impressive display for Crystal Palace against Manchester United; the youngster is on loan at Wimbledon from the Eagles.

Latest Wimbledon vs Newcastle football prediction

Not the first team to be haunted by Fulham's former Arsenal players - and probably not the last - Newcastle were left to rue a disastrous start to their trip to Craven Cottage on Saturday, where Raul Jimenez and Emile Smith Rowe quickly put Fulham two goals ahead.

A crisp finish from Harvey Barnes early in the second half gave Eddie Howe some hope, but that was quickly extinguished as Fabian Schar missed a golden chance from a Bernd Leno mistake, and Reiss Nelson capitalised on a rare Bruno Guimaraes error.

Having missed the chance to go top of the Premier League after defeat to Fulham, Newcastle now face an easier game, despite having to work hard to win a penalty shootout against Nottingham Forest in the second round of the Carabao Cup.

Approaching the 70-year mark since their last major trophy – the 1954-55 FA Cup triumph – winning a long-awaited trophy is surely the next step in Newcastle's transformation following the takeover, and they have progressed past the third round of the Carabao Cup in each of the last two seasons.

Barnes' consolation goal at Craven Cottage at least extended Newcastle's run of scoring in all competitions this season, but Howe's side are also without a clean sheet in their last five games, offering some hope to the in-form hosts in League Two.

Like their high-profile visitors, Wimbledon also booked their place in the third round of the Carabao Cup by beating a Premier League side on penalties, pulling off a shock second-round upset of Ipswich Town.

Johnnie Jackson's side came close to winning 2-1 in normal time, but Conor Chaplin's equaliser in the 86th minute only delayed the Tractor Boys' exit, as Owen Goodman lived up to his name in the penalty shootout, saving from Omari Hutchinson and Jack Taylor.

Goodman's excellent work appears to have rubbed off on his defenders, as Wimbledon welcomed Newcastle with three clean sheets in a row in League Two, beat Fleetwood Town 1-0 and thrashed MK Dons 3-0 in a tense game before a goalless draw with Bradford.

There have been positive signs for promotion to League One, with Jackson's side currently fifth in League Two and on a six-match unbeaten run in all competitions - winning five - while also winning their last seven competitive games at Plough Lane.

That run of form means Wimbledon are no pushovers for big-name opposition, and the elimination of Ipswich has seen them reach the third round of the Carabao Cup for the first time in their short history - but it could be harder to get to the fourth round. Defensive resilience has become second nature to Wimbledon in recent weeks, and the hosts deserve Newcastle's respect for eliminating a top-flight side.

However, even a Newcastle side of reserves should easily overcome their second-tier opponents, as Howe looks for the much-needed response after last weekend's disappointment.
