Everton Beat Newcastle to Set up League Cup Quarter-Final with Fleetwood
Everton’s first-half goals and a late Thierno Barry strike sealed the win as Jack Grealish missed out for a breach of club discipline.
On Thursday, October 29, 2026, Everton excluded winger Jack Grealish from their squad for the Carabao Cup tie against Newcastle United due to a "breach of club discipline."
The 31-year-old England international previously missed Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Arsenal through illness; reports indicate the disciplinary breach stems from an unauthorized training session absence.
Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle has vowed to go "all in" for the clash at Hill Dickinson Stadium, targeting a fifth successive quarter-final appearance in the competition.
Manager David Moyes left Grealish out as punishment, naming two goalkeepers on the bench instead, while defender Jarrad Branthwaite remains sidelined due to concussion protocols.
The winner advances to face fourth-tier Fleetwood Town in the quarter-finals after the League Two side upset Premier League champions Arsenal earlier this week.
