Newcastle is fortunate to have the FA Cup at this moment. Eddie Howe will welcome the chance to rest some of his star players as the Premier League fixtures begin to pile up. He will also take advantage of the chance to give injured players some playing time, most notably Allan Saint-Maximin, who has yet to start a game since the World Cup break.
As a result of their strong performance this year, the hosts have put themselves in the running to win their league. They are only four points behind League One's top team, Plymouth Argyle, and have gone 13 games without suffering a loss. They are currently in second place. Sheffield Wednesday romped to a 5-0 victory over in their most recent game.
